Description

Definition

ATCM2 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, the woman reported a private doctor as a source for testing for the AIDS virus. This response category is country-specific to Cameroon.

Some samples in the "AT" series include multiple categories that can be consolidated into a single broad response. IPUMS-DHS uses supplemental programming to combine these responses in a standard variable, while also preserving the separate responses in country-specific variables.

ATCM2 is combined with ATCM1 (private secular hospital/clinic) in ATPRIVHOS (private hospital, clinic, or doctor) for the 2011 Cameroon sample. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using ATCM2 are encouraged to review ATPRIVHOS for a more comprehensive response category.
