Definition
For children with diarrhea in the past 2 weeks, DIATRMM5 indicates whether the child received treatment from some "other" non-governmental organization. The meaning of other depends on the NGO categories specified for this variable in the sample.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.
DIATRMM5 is combined with DIATRMM1 (Marie Stopes International), DIATRMM2 (Myanmar Red Cross), DIATRMM3 (Population Services International/Myanmar [PSI/M]), and DIATRMM4 (Myanmar Medical Association) in DIATRNGO (all NGOs) for the 2015 Myanmar sample. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using DIATRMM5 are encouraged to review DIATRNGO for a more comprehensive response category.
