Definition
ATBJ1 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, the woman reported a public fieldworker as a source for testing for the AIDS virus. This response category is country-specific to Benin.
Some samples in the "AT" 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.
ATBJ1 is combined with ATBJ2 (public health worker), and ATBJ3 (public community health worker) in ATPUBFW (all public field workers) for the 2011 Benin sample. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using ATBJ1 are encouraged to review ATPUBFW for a more comprehensive response category.
