Description

Definition
For women who had symptoms of a sexually transmitted infection in the past 12 months, STIADEG9 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported seeking advice or treatment from a public urban/rural center 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.

STIADEG9 is combined with STIADEG10 (public maternal and child health (MCH) center) in STIADPUBHC(all public health centers) for the 2008 Egypt sample.

IPUMS-DHS users interested in using STIADEG9 are encouraged to review STIADPUBHC for a more comprehensive response category.
