Description

ATNP1 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, the woman reported a private hospital or nursing home as a source for testing for the AIDS virus. This response category is country-specific to Nepal.

Some samples in the "AT" 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.

ATNP1 is combined with ATNP2 (private clinic) in ATPRIVHOS (private hospital, clinic, or doctor) for the 2016 Nepal sample. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using ATNP1 are encouraged to review ATPRIVHOS for a more comprehensive response category.

Comparability

ATNP1 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 ATNP1 is a country-specific response not included in the standard DHS modules, it is combined with other responses in ATPRIVHOS, a standard variable that encompasses private hospitals, clinics, and doctors as potential sources for an AIDS test. IPUMS-DHS users are encouraged to review the Description tab of ATNP1 or the Comparability tab of ATPRIVHOS for more information on the specific categories combined for the 2016 Nepal sample.
