Description

Definition
ATPRIVOTH (V784S) indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, the woman reported some "other" private medical facility as a place to be tested for the AIDS virus. The meaning of "other" depends on the specific places for AIDS testing included in a given sample.

Users should be careful to distinguish this variable from ATPUBOTH ("other" under the public medical sector) and ATOTHER ("other" that is not described as under either the private or the public medical sector).
