Description

For women who had symptoms of a sexually transmitted infection in the past 12 months, STIADBJ1 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported seeking advice or treatment from a private hospital/clinic for this problem. This response category is country-specific to Benin.

Some samples in the "STIAD" 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.

STIADBJ1 is combined with STIADBJ2 (private doctor) in STIADPRIVHOS (private hospital, clinic, or doctor) for the 1996, 2006, and 2011 Benin samples. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using STIADBJ1 are encouraged to review STIADPRIVHOS for a more comprehensive response category.

Comparability

Apart from slight universe differences, STIADBJ1 has no comparability problems.

Comparability - Standard DHS

An open-ended question about where the woman received advice/treatment for an STI is included in Phases III, V and VI forward of the standard DHS questionnaire.

Though STIADBJ1 is a country-specific response not included in the standard DHS modules, it is combined with other responses in STIADPRIVHOS, a standard variable that encompasses private hospitals, clinics, and doctors as sources for STI advice/treatment. IPUMS-DHS users are encouraged to review the Description tab of STIADBJ1 or the Comparability tab of STIADPRIVHOS for more information on the specific categories combined for the Benin samples.
