Description

Definition
For women who had symptoms of a sexually transmitted infection in the past 12 months, STIADLS3 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported seeking advice or treatment from a CHAL [Christian Health Association of Lesotho] health post for this problem. This response category is country-specific to Lesotho.

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.

STIADLS3 is combined with STIADLS1 (CHAL hospital) and STIADLS2 (CHAL health center) in STIADPRIVMIS (all faith-based health facilities) for the 2014 Lesotho sample. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using STIADLS3 are encouraged to review STIADPRIVMIS for a more comprehensive response category.
