Description

Definition
For children with diarrhea in the past 2 weeks, DIATRMM6 indicates whether the child received treatment from a government health center. 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.

DIATRMM6 is combined with DIATRMM7 (urban health center/maternal and child health center) in DIATRPUBHC (all public health centers) for the 2015 Myanmar sample. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using DIATRMM6 are encouraged to review DIATRPUBHC for a more comprehensive response category.
