Description

Definition
For women who had symptoms of a sexually transmitted infection in the past 12 months, STIADTZ2 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported seeking advice or treatment from a public regional hospital for this problem. This response category is country-specific to Tanzania.

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.

STIADTZ2 is combined with STIADTZ1 (public referral/specialist hospital) and STIADTZ3 (public district hospital) in STIADPUBHOS (all public hospitals) for the 1996, 2004, and 2010 Tanzania samples. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using STIADTZ2 are encouraged to review STIADPUBHOS for a more comprehensive response category.
