Description

Definition
KDEATHPRIVHOS indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, the child's mother reported taking the child to a private hospital or clinic for advice or treatment during the illness leading to the child's death.

Some samples in the "KDEATH" 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.

For example, a given sample might include multiple categories for different types of private hospitals that could be combined to create a more comprehensive response category. See Comparability for more information on the specific categories combined in KDEATHPRIVHOS.
