Definition
For children with diarrhea in the past 2 weeks, DIATRBF8 indicates, in response to an open-ended question, whether the child received treatment from a market. 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.
DIATRBF8 is combined with DIATRBF7 (shop) in DIATRSHOP (all kinds of retail outlets) for the 2010 Burkina Faso sample. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using DIATRBF8 are encouraged to review DIATRSHOP for a more comprehensive response category.
