Description

Definition
For women who had symptoms of a sexually transmitted infection in the past 12 months, STIADZW6 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported seeking advice or treatment from a public district/rural hospital for this problem. This response category is country-specific to Zimbabwe.

Some samples in the "STIAD" 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.

STIADZW6 is combined with STIADZW3 (public central/provincial hospital) in STIADPUBHOS (all public hospitals) for the 1994 Zimbabwe samples.

STIADZW6 is combined with STIADZW1 (public central hospital) and STIADZW2 (public provincial hospital) in STIADPUBHOS for the 2005 Zimbabwe survey.

IPUMS-DHS users interested in using STIADZW6 are encouraged to review STIADPUBHOS for a more comprehensive response category.
