Definition
For children with diarrhea in the past 2 weeks, DIATRMM8 indicates whether the child received treatment from a shop. 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.
DIATRMM8 is combined with DIATRMM9 (market) in DIATRSHOP (all shops/retailers) for the 2015 Myanmar sample. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using DIATRMM8 are encouraged to review DIATRSHOP for a more comprehensive response category.
