Description

Definition
For children with diarrhea in the past 2 weeks, DIATRJO8 indicates, in response to an open-ended question, whether the child received treatment from a private specialist clinic. This response category is country-specific to Jordan.

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.

DIATRJO8 is combined with DIATRJO6 (private hospital) and DIATRJO7 (private GP clinic) in DIATRPRIVHOS (all private hospitals/clinics) for the 1990 Jordan sample. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using DIATRJO8 are encouraged to review DIATRPRIVHOS for a more comprehensive response category.
