Codes and Frequencies
Description
HCMNGO indicates whether the woman reported an "NGO," or non-governmental organization, as a source for male condoms.
Some samples in the "HCM" series include categories that can be consolidated into a single response. IPUMS-DHS uses supplemental programming to combine these responses in a standard variable while preserving the separate responses in country-specific variables.
For example, a given sample might include multiple categories for different types of NGOs that could be combined to create a more comprehensive response category. HCMNGO is concerned with whether the woman reported any NGO as a source for male condoms. See Comparability for more information on the specific categories combined in this variable.

Comparability
Along with universe differences, HCMNGO has some contextual factors regarding question wording that should be noted by researchers. This survey context broadly applies to the "source for male condom" series. For discussion of this topic, see the comparability section of HCMDK.
Additionally, HCMNGO varies slightly in response category wording. While the response is most commonly worded as "NGO," some samples include multiple, specific NGO sources. In these cases, multiple categories were consolidated to form a single, more comprehensive response. Countries of particular interest are noted below.
Comparability - Standard DHS
An open-ended question on known sources for male condoms is included in the standard DHS questionnaire in Phases III forward. HCMNGO is country-specific and not part of the standard DHS questionnaire.
Comparability — Eswatini (Swaziland) [top]
In the 2006 Eswatini/Swaziland sample, under the "NGO" header, there are separate categories for "FLAS (Family Life Association of Swaziland)" and "Other NGO." Because HCMNGO focuses on all NGOs, these responses are consolidated in this variable to create a more comprehensive response category.

In the 2011 Ethiopia sample, under the "NGO" header, there are separate categories for "NGO health facility," "voluntary community health workers [VCHW]," and "other NGO." Because HCMNGO focuses on all NGOs, these responses are consolidated in this variable to create a more comprehensive response category. For researchers interested in preserving these country-specific categories:
- NGO health facility is listed as HCMET4 in IPUMS-DHS
- VCHW is listed as HCMET5 in IPUMS-DHS
- Other NGO is listed as HCMET9 in IPUMS-DHS
In the 2000 Ethiopia sample, there are separate categories for "NGO health facility (HCMET4)," "NGO community-based outlet," "NGO family guidance," and "other NGO (HCMET9)."

In the 2005 Ethiopia sample, there are separate categories for "NGO health facility (HCMET4)," "NGO community-based distributor (CBD)/Community Based Reproductive Health Agent (CBRHA)," and "other NGO (HCMET9)." These responses are consolidated in HCMNGO to create a more comprehensive response category. For researchers interested in preserving these country-specific categories:
- NGO CBD/CBRHA is listed as HCMET7 in IPUMS-DHS
Comparability — Jordan [top]
In the 2017 Jordan survey, there are separate categories for "UNRWA" and "UNHCR/other NGO."
