Description

Definition
ATMW1 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, the woman reported a public health surveillance assistant (HSA) as a source for testing for the AIDS virus. This response category is country-specific to Malawi.

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.

ATMW1 is combined with ATMW2 (public community-based distribution agent/door-to-door) in ATPUBFW (all public fieldworkers) for the 2010 Malawi sample. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using ATMW1 are encouraged to review ATPUBFW for a more comprehensive response category.
