Description

ATJO4 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, the woman reported a government maternal and child health (MCH) center as a source for testing for the AIDS virus. This response category is country-specific to Jordan.

Some samples in the "AT" series include categories that can be consolidated into a single response. IPUMS-DHS uses supplemental programming to combine these responses in a standard variable while preserving the separate responses in country-specific variables.

ATJO4 is combined with ATJO3 (government health center) in ATPUBHC (all public health centers) for the 2007, 2012, and 2017 Jordan samples. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using ATJO4 are encouraged to review ATPUBHC for a more comprehensive response category.

Comparability

ATJO4 has no comparability problems.

Comparability - Standard DHS

An open-ended question about where one can get tested for the AIDS virus is included in Phase V forward of the standard DHS questionnaire.

Although ATJO4 is a country-specific response, this variable is combined with other responses in ATPUBHC, a variable that encompasses all public health centers as potential sources for an AIDS test. IPUMS-DHS users are encouraged to review the Description tab of ATJO4 or the Comparability tab of ATPUBHC for more information on the specific categories combined for the Jordan samples.
