Description

Definition

For children with diarrhea in the past 2 weeks, DIATRAF3 indicates, in response to an open-ended question, whether the child received treatment from a public health sub-center. This response category is country-specific to Afghanistan.

Some samples in the "DIATR" 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.

DIATRAF3 is combined with DIATRAF1 (public comprehensive health center/polyclinic), and DIATRAF2 (public basic health center) in DIATRPUBHC (all public health centers) for the 2015 Afghanistan sample. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using DIATRAF3 are encouraged to review DIATRPUBHC for a more comprehensive response category.
