Description

Definition
ATLS5 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 Lesotho.

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.

ATLS5 is combined with ATLS4 (private hospital/clinic) in ATPRIVHOS (private hospital, clinic, or doctor) for the 2009 and 2014 Lesotho samples. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using ATLS5 are encouraged to review ATPRIVHOS for a more comprehensive response category.
