Definition
For women who had symptoms of a sexually transmitted infection in the past 12 months, STIADMM3 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported seeking advice or treatment from Population Services International/Myanmar (PSI/M). This response category is country-specific to Myanmar.
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.
STIADMM3 is combined with STIADMM1 (Marie Stopes International), STIADMM2 (Myanmar Red Cross), STIADMM4 (Myanmar Medical Association), and STIADMM5 (other NGO) in STIADNGO (all NGOs) for the 2015 Myanmar sample. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using STIADMM3 are encouraged to review STIADNGO for a more comprehensive response category.
