Definition
For women who had symptoms of a sexually transmitted infection in the past 12 months, STIADAO4 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported seeking advice or treatment from a public maternity home for this problem. This response category is country-specific to Angola.
Some samples in the "STIAD" 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.
STIADAO4 is combined with STIADAO5 (public health center/post), in STIADPUBHC (all public health centers) for the 2015 Angola sample. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using STIADAO4 are encouraged to review STIADPUBHC for a more comprehensive response category.
