Description

Definition
For children with diarrhea in the past 2 weeks, DIATRBF3 indicates, in response to an open-ended question, whether the child received treatment from a "Primary Health Post." This response category is country-specific to Burkina Faso.

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.

DIATRBF3 is combined with DIATRBF2 (Public health post) in DIATRPUBHP (all public health posts) for the 1993 Burkina Faso sample. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using DIATRBF3 are encouraged to review DIATRPUBHP for a more comprehensive response category.
