Description

Definition

For children with diarrhea in the past 2 weeks, DIATRCM2 indicates, in response to an open-ended question, whether the child received treatment from a religious dispensary/health center. This response category is country-specific to Cameroon.

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.

DIATRCM2 is combined with DIATRCM1 (Religious hospital/clinic) in DIATRPRIVMIS (all faith-based health facilities) for the 1991, 1998, 2004, and 2011 Cameroon samples. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using DIATRCM2 are encouraged to review DIATRPRIVMIS for a more comprehensive response category.
