Description

Definition
For women who had symptoms of a sexually transmitted infection in the past 12 months, STIADOTHDRUG indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported seeking advice or treatment from an informal drug or street vendor for this problem.

Users should be careful to distinguish this variable from STIADPUBDRUG and STIADPRIVDRUG, which refer to public drug sources and private, formal drug sources, respectively.
