Description

Definition
For children with diarrhea in the past 2 weeks, DIATRIA2 indicates, in response to an open-ended question, whether the child received treatment from an NGO health worker. This response category is country-specific to India.

Some samples in the "DIATR" 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.

DIATRIA2 is combined with DIATRIA1 (NGO/Trust hospital/clinic) in DIATRNGO (all nongovernmental organizations) for the 1998 India sample.
