Description

Definition
For children with diarrhea in the past 2 weeks, DIATRBD15 indicates, in response to an open-ended question, whether the child received treatment from a public district hospital. This response category is country-specific to Bangladesh.

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.

DIATRBD15 is combined with DIATRBD14 (government hospital) and DIATRBD16 (specialized government hospital) in DIATRPUBHOS (all public hospitals) for the 2011 Bangladesh sample. Additionally, DIATRBD15 is combined with DIATRBD14 and for the 2014 Bangladesh samples.

IPUMS-DHS users interested in using DIATRBD15 are encouraged to review DIATRPUBHOS for a more comprehensive response category.
