Definition
For children with diarrhea in the past 2 weeks, DIATRNP8 indicates whether the child received treatment from Marie Stopes International, a non-governmental organization (NGO) that provides contraception and safe abortion to women in urban and rural communities. This response category is country-specific to Nepal.
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.
DIATRNP8 is combined with DIATRNP7 (Family Planning Association of Nepal) and DIATRNP9 (other NGOs) in DIATRNGO (all NGOs) for the 2016 Nepal sample. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using DIATRNP8 are encouraged to review DIATRNGO for a more comprehensive response category.
