Description

Definition
For children with diarrhea in the past 2 weeks, DIATRPRIVMOB (H12M) indicates, in response to an open-ended question, whether the child received treatment from a private mobile clinic.

Users should be careful to distinguish this variable from DIATRPUBMOB ("mobile clinic" under the public medical sector category).
