Description

ATRTD5 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, the woman reported a private hospital as a potential source of treatment for HIV/AIDS. This variable is country-specific to Chad.

Some samples in the "ATR" 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.

ATRTD5 (private hospital) is combined with ATRTD6 (private doctor/clinic) in ATRPRIVHOS (all private hospitals, clinics, and doctors) for the 2004 Chad sample. IPUMS DHS users interested in using ATRTD5 are encouraged to review ATRPRIVHOS for a more comprehensive response category.
