Description

Definition

For women who had symptoms of a sexually transmitted infection in the past 12 months, STIADZW4 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported seeking advice or treatment from a public district hospital for this problem. This response category is country-specific to Zimbabwe.

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.

STIADZW4 is combined with STIADZW1 (public central hospital), STIADZW2 (public provincial hospital), and STIADZW5 (public rural hospital) in STIADPUBHOS (all public hospitals) for the 2010 and 2015 Zimbabwe samples.

STIADZW4 is combined with STIADZW1 and STIADZW2 for the 1999 Zimbabwe sample.

IPUMS-DHS users interested in using STIADZW4 are encouraged to review STIADPUBHOS for a more comprehensive response category.
