Definition
For women who had symptoms of a sexually transmitted infection in the past 12 months, STIADNP13 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported seeking advice or treatment from Marie Stopes International, a non-governmental organization (NGO). This response category is country-specific to Nepal.
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.
STIADNP13 is combined with STIADNP7 (FPAN) and STIADNP14 (other NGOs) in STIADNGO (all NGOs) in the 2016 Nepal sample. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using STIADNP13 are encouraged to review STIADNGO for a more comprehensive response category.
