Description

ATRUG4 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, the woman reported The AIDS Support Organization (TASO), a non-governmental organization (NGO), as a potential source of treatment for HIV/AIDS (ARVs, or antiretroviral therapy). This variable is country-specific to Uganda.

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.

ATRUG4 (TASO) is combined with ATRUG5 (AIDS information center) in ATRNGO (all non-governmental organizations) for the 2006 Uganda sample. IPUMS DHS users interested in using ATRUG4 are encouraged to review ATRNGO for a more comprehensive response category.
