Description

Definition
For children with diarrhea in the past 2 weeks, DIATRBF4 indicates, in response to an open-ended question, whether the child received treatment from a public medical center. This response category is country-specific to Burkina Faso.

Some samples in the "DIATR" series include categories that can be consolidated into a single response. IPUMS-DHS uses supplemental programming to combine these responses in a standard variable while preserving the separate responses in country-specific variables.

DIATRBF4 is combined with DIATRBF5 (Center for health and social advancement) and DIATRBF6 (Maternal and child health center) in DIATRPUBHC (all public health centers) for the 1993 and 1998 Burkina Faso samples. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using DIATRBF4 are encouraged to review DIATRPUBHC for a more comprehensive response category.
