Description

Definition

ATAF1 indicates whether the woman reported a public comprehensive health center/polyclinic as a place to be tested for the AIDS virus. This response category is country-specific to Afghanistan.

Some samples in the "AT" series include categories that can be consolidated into a single response. IPUMS-DHS uses supplemental programming to combine these responses in a standard variable while preserving the separate responses in country-specific variables.

ATAF1 is combined with ATAF2 (public basic health center), and ATAF3 (public health sub-center) in ATPUBHC (all public health centers) for the 2015 Afghanistan sample. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using ATAF1 are encouraged to review ATPUBHC for a more comprehensive response category.
