Codes and Frequencies
Description
ATCHURCH indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, the woman reported a church or mosque as a place to be tested for the AIDS virus.
Comparability
Apart from universe differences and slight differences in response category wording, ATCHURCH has no comparability problems. The response category is listed under the "other source" or "other private sector" header.
Most commonly, this variable included women who have heard of HIV/AIDS and have never been tested for HIV/AIDS. Other samples diverge from this standard, and in these cases, researchers may wish to exclude women who have not heard of HIV/AIDS (using AIDSHEARD) and who have been tested for HIV/AIDS (using AIDTESTEV).
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.
The responses in ATCHURCH are country-specific and not included in the standard DHS modules.
