Description

Definition
For children with diarrhea in the past 2 weeks, DIATRTZ4 indicates, in response to an open-ended question, whether the child received treatment from a public regional hospital. This response category is country-specific to Tanzania.

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 p reserving the separate responses in country-specific variables.

DIATRTZ4 is combined with DIATRTZ3 (Referral/specialist hospital) and DIATRTZ5 (District hospital) in DIATRPUBHOS (all public hospitals) for the 2004 and 2010 Tanzania samples. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using DIATRTZ4 are encouraged to review DIATRPUBHOS for a more comprehensive response category.
