Description

Definition

For children with diarrhea in the past 2 weeks, DIATRBD11 indicates, in response to an open-ended question, whether the child received treatment from a government health center. This response category is country-specific to Bangladesh.

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.

DIATRBD11 is combined with DIATRBD12 (maternal and child welfare center) in DIATRPUBHC (all public health centers) for the 2000 Bangladesh sample. Additionally, DIATRBD11 is combined with DIATRBD12 and DIATRBD13 (health and family welfare center) for the 2004 Bangladesh sample, while DIATRBD12 is combined with DIATRBD13 in DIATRPUBHC for the 2007, 2011, and 2014 Bangladesh samples.

IPUMS-DHS users interested in using DIATRBD11 are encouraged to review DIATRPUBHC for a more comprehensive response category.
