Description

Definition

For surviving children with diarrhea in the past 2 weeks, DIATRPUBDRUG indicates, in response to an open-ended question, whether the child received treatment at a public pharmacy or dispensary for this illness.

Users should be careful to distinguish this variable from DIATRPRIVDRUG and DIATROTHDRUG, which refer to private drug sources and informal drug sources, respectively.

Some samples that included pharmacy or dispensary as a potential source of treatment were not added to DIATRPUBDRUG due to comparability issues. IPUMS-DHS users are encouraged to review the Comparability tab for more information on these samples.
