Description

Definition
ATMG1 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, the woman reported a level I public hospital as a place to be tested for the AIDS virus. This response category is country-specific to Madagascar.

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.

ATMG1 is combined with ATMG2 (level II public hospital) in ATPUBHOS (all public hospitals) for the 2003 and 2008 Madagascar samples. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using ATMG1 are encouraged to review ATPUBHOS for a more comprehensive response category.
