Description

ATTZ4 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, the woman reported a village health post/worker as a source for testing for the AIDS virus. This response category is country-specific to Tanzania.

Although IPUMS-DHS integrates "public health post" (see ATPUBHP) and "public fieldworker" (see ATPUBFW) across samples, ATTZ4 is not included in either of these integrated variables because multiple sources are consolidated into a single category in ATTZ4.

Comparability

ATTZ4 has no comparability problems.

Comparability - Standard DHS
