Definition
For women who had symptoms of a sexually transmitted infection in the past 12 months, STIADAO1 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported seeking advice or treatment from a public central hospital for this problem. This response category is country-specific to Angola.
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.
STIADAO1 is combined with STIADAO2 (public provincial hospital) and STIADAO3 (public municipal hospital) in STIADPUBHOS (all public hospitals) for the 2015 Angola sample. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using STIADAO1 are encouraged to review STIADPUBHOS for a more comprehensive response category.
