Description

ATTD1 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, the woman reported a government hospital or maternity home as a source for testing for the AIDS virus. This response category is country-specific to Chad.

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.

ATTD1 (government hospital/maternity home) is combined with ATTD2 (public military/garrison hospital) in ATPUBHOS (all public hospitals) for the 2004 and 2014 Chad samples. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using ATTD1 are encouraged to review ATPUBHOS for a more comprehensive response category.

Comparability

Apart from universe differences and slight differences in question wording, ATTD1 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 ATTD1 is a country-specific response not included in the standard DHS modules, it is combined with other responses in ATPUBHOS, a standard variable that encompasses all public hospitals as potential sources for an AIDS test. IPUMS-DHS users are encouraged to review the Description tab of ATTD1 or the Comparability tab of ATPUBHOS for more information on the specific categories combined for the Chad samples.
