Description
ATPUBDRUG indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, the woman reported a public formal, drug source as a place to be tested for the AIDS virus.
IPUMS-DHS users should be careful to distinguish ATPUBDRUG from ATPRIVDRUG, which indicates whether the woman reported a private dispensary or pharmacy as a source for AIDS testing.
Comparability
Along with universe differences, the wording of ATPUBDRUG varies slightly across samples. ATPUBDRUG is ultimately concerned with whether any public, formal drug source was reported, not about the specific type of facility reported. Some samples referred to a "government dispensary," while others referred to a "university dispensary."
Due to the variation in category wording, IPUMS-DHS users are encouraged to review the Survey Text tab.
