Description

Definition
For children with diarrhea in the past 2 weeks, DIATRSN3 indicates, in response to an open-ended question, whether the child was reported to have received treatment from a community health center. This response category is country-specific to Senegal.

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.

DIATRSN3 is combined with DIATRSN2 (government health center) in DIATRPUBHC (all public health centers) for the 2014, 2015, and 2016 Senegal samples. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using DIATRSN3 are encouraged to review DIATRPUBHC for a more comprehensive response category.
