Description

Definition

For children with diarrhea in the past 2 weeks, DIATRBD13 indicates, in response to an open-ended question, whether the child received treatment from a public health and family welfare center. This response category is country-specific to Bangladesh.

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.

DIATRBD13 is combined with DIATRBD11 (government health center) and DIATRBD12 (public maternal and child welfare center) in DIATRPUBHC (all public health centers) for the 2004 Bangladesh sample, while DIATRBD13 is combined with DIATRBD12 in the 2007, 2011, and 2014 Bangladesh samples.

IPUMS-DHS users interested in using DIATRBD13 are encouraged to review DIATRPUBHC for a more comprehensive response category.
