Description

Definition
For children with diarrhea in the past 2 weeks, DIATRJO3 indicates, in response to an open-ended question, whether the child received treatment from a government health center. This response category is country-specific to Jordan.

Some samples in the "DIATR" 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.

DIATRJO3 is combined with DIATRJO4 (government MCH) in DIATRPUBHC (all public health centers) for the 1990, 2002, 2007, 2012, and 2017 Jordan samples. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using DIATRJO3 are encouraged to review DIATRPUBHOS for a more comprehensive response category.
