Definition
ATML9 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, the woman reported a private hospital/clinic as a place to be tested for the AIDS virus. This response category is country-specific to Mali.
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.
ATML9 is combined with ATML10 (private doctor) in ATPRIVHOS (private hospital, clinic, or doctor) for the 2012 Mali sample. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using ATML9 are encouraged to review ATPRIVHOS for a more comprehensive response category.
