Description

Definition
For children with diarrhea in the past 2 weeks, DIATREG5 indicates, in response to an open-ended question, whether the child received treatment from a government health unit. 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.

DIATREG5 is combined with DIATREG6 (Maternal and child health center) in DIATRPUBHC (all public health centers) for the 2000, 2005, 2008, and 2014 Egypt samples. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using DIATREG5 are encouraged to review DIATRPUBHC for a more comprehensive response category.
