Description

Definition
ATET8 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, the woman reported a public voluntary counseling and testing (VCT) center as a place to be tested for the AIDS virus. This response category is country-specific to Ethiopia.

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.

ATET8 is combined with ATET9 (public stand-alone VCT center) in ATPUBVCT (all public VCT centers) for the 2005 Ethiopia sample. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using ATET8 are encouraged to review ATPUBVCT for a more comprehensive response category.
