Description

Definition

For women who had symptoms of a sexually transmitted infection in the past 12 months, STIADAF3 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported seeking advice or treatment from a public health sub-center for this problem. This response category is country-specific to Afghanistan.

Some samples in the "STIAD" series include categories that can be consolidated into a single response. IPUMS-DHS uses supplemental programming to combine these responses in a standard variable while preserving the separate responses in country-specific variables.

STIADAF3 is combined with STIADAF1 (public comprehensive health center/polyclinic), and STIADAF2 (public basic health center) in STIADPUBHC (all public health centers) for the 2015 Afghanistan sample. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using STIADAF3 are encouraged to review STIADPUBHC for a more comprehensive response category.
