Description

Definition
For women who had symptoms of a sexually transmitted infection in the past 12 months, STIADNM1 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported seeking advice or treatment from a government health center for this problem. This response category is country-specific to Namibia.

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.

STIADNM1 is combined with STIADNM2 (government health care clinic) in STIADPUBHC (all public health centers) for the 2013 Namibia sample. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using STIADNM1 are encouraged to review STIADPUBHC for a more comprehensive response category.
