Description

Definition
ATGN2 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, the woman reported a public regional hospital as a place to be tested for the AIDS virus. This response category is country-specific to Guinea.

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.

ATGN2 is combined with ATGN1 (public university hospital) and ATGN3 (public referral hospital) in ATPUBHOS (all public hospitals) for the 2005 Guinea sample. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using ATGN2 are encouraged to review ATPUBHOS for a more comprehensive response category.
