Description

Definition
For women who had symptoms of a sexually transmitted infection in the past 12 months, STIADRW5 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported seeking advice or treatment from a private doctor for this problem. This response category is country-specific to Rwanda.

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.

STIADRW5 is combined with STIADRW3 (private clinic) in STIADPRIVHOS (private hospital, clinic, or doctor) for the 2005 Rwanda sample. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using STIADRW5 are encouraged to review STIADPRIVHOS for a more comprehensive response category.
