Description

Definition
For surviving children with diarrhea in the past 2 weeks, DIATRPUBFW (H12E) indicates, in response to an open-ended question, whether the child received treatment from a public fieldworker for this illness.

Users should be careful to distinguish this variable from DIATRPRIVFW ("fieldworker" under the private medical sector category).

Some samples in the "DIATR" series include categories that can be consolidated into a single response. IPUMS-DHS uses supplemental programming to combine these responses in a standard variable while preserving the separate responses in country-specific variables.

For example, a given sample might include multiple categories for different types of public fieldworkers that could be combined to create a more comprehensive response category. See Comparability for more information on the specific categories combined in this variable.
