Description

Definition
For children with diarrhea in the past 2 weeks, DIATRPK5 indicates, in response to an open-ended question, whether the child received treatment from a dai or traditional birth attendant. This response category is country-specific to Pakistan.

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.

DIATRPK5 is combined with other traditional practitioners and healers in the 2006, 2012, and 2017 Pakistan surveys:


In the 2006 and 2012 Pakistan samples, DIATRPK5 is combined with DIATRPK3 (homeopath) and DIATRPK4 (hakim) in DIATRPRIVHL (all traditional practitioners/healers).
In the 2017 Pakistan sample, DIATRPK5 is combined with DIATRPK3 (homeopath), DIATRPK4 (hakim), and DIATRPPK11 (community midwife) in DIATRPRIVHL (all traditional practitioners/healers).


IPUMS-DHS users interested in using DIATRPK5 are encouraged to review DIATRPRIVHL for a more comprehensive response category.
