Description

Definition
For children with diarrhea in the past 2 weeks, DIATRBF6 indicates, in response to an open-ended question, whether the child received treatment from a public maternity and child health center. This response category is country-specific to Burkina Faso.

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.

DIATRBF6 is combined with DIATRBF4 (medical center) and DIATRBF5 (center for health and social advancement) in DIATRPUBHC (all public health centers) for the 1993 and 1998 Burkina Faso samples. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using DIATRBF6 are encouraged to review DIATRPUBHC for a more comprehensive response category.
