Definition
For children with diarrhea in the past 2 weeks, DIATRMM1 indicates whether the child received treatment from Marie Stopes International, a non-governmental organization (NGO) that provides contraception and safe abortion to women in urban and rural communities. This response category is country-specific to Myanmar.
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.
DIATRMM1 is combined with DIATRMM2 (Myanmar Red Cross), DIATRMM3 (Population Services International/Myanmar [PSI/M]), DIATRMM4 (Myanmar Medical Association), and DIATRMM5 (other NGO) in DIATRNGO (all NGOs) for the 2015 Myanmar sample. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using DIATRMM1 are encouraged to review DIATRNGO for a more comprehensive response category.
