Description
AIDSINFOOTH (V752X) indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, the woman reported some "other" source as a source of information on HIV/AIDS. The meaning of "other" depends on the specific responses included in a given survey.
Question wording varies slightly across samples; see Comparability.

Comparability
In addition to universe differences and the contextual meaning of "other," AIDSINFOOTH (V752X) varies across samples in question wording. Most commonly, this question is worded as "From which sources have you learned the most about AIDS? Any other sources?" or some slight variation [emphasis added]. A number of surveys simply ask "From which sources have you learned about AIDS? Any other sources?" or some slight variation.
While most surveys implicitly ask whether the woman has ever heard information about HIV/AIDS from a given source, a few samples specify a time frame. For example, a given sample might ask whether the woman has heard about HIV/AIDS in the last month.
IPUMS-DHS users are encouraged to review the Survey Text tab for samples of interest.
