Description

Definition

For children with diarrhea in the past 2 weeks, DIATREG4 indicates, in response to an open-ended question, whether the child received treatment from some "other" nongovernmental organization (NGO). This response category is country-specific to Egypt.

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.

DIATREG4 is combined with DIATREG3 (Clinical Services Improvement (CSI) Project) in DIATRNGO (all nongovernmental organizations) for the 2005, 2008, and 2014 Egyptian samples. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using DIATREG4 are encouraged to review DIATRNGO for a more comprehensive response category.
