Description

Definition
For children with diarrhea in the past 2 weeks, DIATRMG4 indicates, in response to an open-ended question, whether the child received treatment from a level II government health center. This response category is country-specific to Madagascar.

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.

DIATRMG4 is combined with DIATRMG3 (level I government health center) in DIATRPUBHC (all public health centers) for the 2003 and 2008 Madagascar samples. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using DIATRMG4 are encouraged to review DIATRPUBHC for a more comprehensive response category.
