Description

Definition
For women who had symptoms of a sexually transmitted infection in the past 12 months, STIADPRIVFW indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported seeking advice or treatment from a private fieldworker for this problem.

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.

IPUMS-DHS users should be careful to distinguish this variable from STIADPUBFW (public fieldworker).
