Description

Definition

ATZW10 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, the woman reported some a private mobile voluntary counseling and testing (VCT) center as a place to be tested for the AIDS virus. This response category is country-specific to Zimbabwe.

Some samples in the "AT" 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.

ATZW10 is combined with ATZW7 (New Start Center) and ATZW9 (other private VCT center) in ATPRIVVCT (all private VCT centers) for the 2010 Zimbabwe sample. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using ATZW10 are encouraged to review ATPRIVVCT for a more comprehensive response category.
