Definition
For women who had symptoms of a sexually transmitted infection in the past 12 months, STIADEG19 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported seeking advice or treatment from the Clinical Services Improvement (CSI) project, a non-governmental organization (NGO) in Egypt, for this problem. This response category is country-specific to Egypt.
Some samples in the "STIAD" 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.
STIADEG19 is combined with STIADEG20 (other NGO) in STIADNGO (all NGO sources) for the 2005, 2008, and 2014 Egypt samples. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using STIADEG19 are encouraged to review STIADNGO for a more comprehensive response category.
