Description

Definition
For children with diarrhea in the past 2 weeks, DIATRZA2 indicates, in response to an open-ended question, whether the child received treatment from a supermarket or shop. This response category is country-specific to South Africa.

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 preserving the separate responses in country-specific variables.

DIATRZA2 is combined with DIATRZA3 (market) in DIATRSHOP (all shops/retailers) for the 2016 South Africa sample. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using DIATRZA2 are encouraged to review DIATRSHOP for a more comprehensive response category.
