Definition
For children with diarrhea in the past 2 weeks, DIATRAO3 indicates, in response to an open-ended question, whether the child received treatment from a public municipal hospital. This response category is country-specific to Angola.
Some samples in the "DIATR" 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.
DIATRAO3 is combined with DIATRAO1 (public central hospital) and DIATRAO2 (public provincial hospital) in DIATRPUBHOS (all public hospitals) for the 2015 Angola sample. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using DIATRAO3 are encouraged to review DIATRPUBHOS for a more comprehensive response category.
