Description

Definition
For children with diarrhea in the past 2 weeks, DIATRNP2 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, the child received treatment from a public sub-health post. This response category is country-specific to Nepal.

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.

DIATRNP2 is combined with DIATRNP1 (public health post) in DIATRPUBHP (all public health posts) for the 2006 and 2011 Nepal samples. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using DIATRNP2 are encouraged to review DIATRPUBHP for a more comprehensive response category.
