Description

Definition
For children with diarrhea in the past 2 weeks, DIATRPRIVFW (H12N) indicates, in response to an open-ended question, whether the child received treatment from a private fieldworker.

Users should be careful to distinguish this variable from DIATRPUBFW (H12E) ("fieldworker" under the public medical sector category).
