Description

Definition
For women who had symptoms of a sexually transmitted infection in the past 12 months, STIADBJ4 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported seeking advice or treatment from a public health worker for this problem. This response category is country-specific to Benin.

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.

STIADBJ4 is combined with STIADBJ3 (public fieldworker) and STIADBJ5 (public community health worker) in STIADPUBFW (all public fieldworkers) for the 2006 and 2011 Benin samples. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using STIADBJ4 are encouraged to review STIADPUBFW for a more comprehensive response category.
