Definition
For women who had symptoms of a sexually transmitted infection in the past 12 months, STIADBI5 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported seeking advice or treatment from a registered (confessional) health center for this problem. This response category is country-specific to Burundi.
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.
STIADBI5 is combined with STIADBI4 (registered hospital) and STIADBI6 (Other registered medical sector) in STIADPRIVMIS (all faith-based health facilities) for the 2016 Burundi sample. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using STIADBI5 are encouraged to review STIADPRIVMIS for a more comprehensive response category.
