Description

Definition
For children with diarrhea in the past 2 weeks, DIATRNM3 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, the child received treatment from a government health center. This response category is country-specific to Namibia.

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.

DIATRNM3 is combined with DIATRNM4 (government health care clinic) in DIATRPUBHC (all public health centers) for the 1992 and 2013 Namibia samples. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using DIATRNM3 are encouraged to review DIATRPUBHC for a more comprehensive response category.
