Definition
For women who had symptoms of a sexually transmitted infection in the past 12 months, STIADCLINYN indicates whether they sought advice or treatment from a clinic, hospital, or private doctor for this problem.

IPUMS-DHS users are encouraged to review the Comparability tab and should be careful to distinguish this variable from STIADPUBHOS (STI advice/treatment from a public hospital) and STIADPRIVHOS (STI advice/treatment from a private hospital, clinic, or doctor).
