Description

Definition
For children with diarrhea in the past 2 weeks, DIATRET1 indicates, in response to an open-ended question, whether the child received treatment from a private hospital. This response category is country-specific to Ethiopia.

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.

DIATRET1 is combined with DIATRET2 (Private clinic) in DIATRPRIVHOS (all private hospitals and clinics) for the 2011 Ethiopia sample. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using DIATRET1 are encouraged to review DIATRPRIVHOS for a more comprehensive response category.
