Description

ATNP4 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, the woman reported AMDA-Nepal (Association of Medical Doctors of Asia-Nepal), a non-governmental organization (NGO), as a place to be tested 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.

ATNP4 is combined with ATNP3 (FPAN), ATNP5 (INF), ATNP6 (Nepal Red Cross), and ATNP8 (other NGOs) in ATNGO (all NGOs) for the 2006 and 2011 Nepal samples. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using ATNP4 are encouraged to review ATNGO for a more comprehensive response category.

Comparability

Apart from universe differences, ATNP4 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 ATNP4 is a country-specific response not included in the standard DHS modules, it is combined with other responses in ATNGO, a standard variable that encompasses all NGOs as potential sources for an AIDS test. IPUMS-DHS users are encouraged to review the Description tab of ATNP4 or the Comparability tab of ATNGO for more information on the specific categories combined for the 2006 and 2011 Nepal samples.
