Description

HCOTH indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, the woman reported she has sought help from some other source. The meaning of "other" must be interpreted relative to the specific response categories included in a particular sample.

Comparability

Apart from universe differences and slight differences in question wording, HCOTH is largely comparable across samples.
