Description

ATIA1 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, the woman reported "Urban Health Center/Urban Health Post/Urban Family Welfare Center (UHC/UHP/UFWC)" as a place to be tested for the AIDS virus. This response category is country-specific to India.

Although IPUMS-DHS integrates "public health post" (see ATPUBHP) and "public health center" (see ATPUBHC) across samples, ATIA1 is not included in either of these integrated variables because multiple sources are consolidated into a single category in ATIA1.

Comparability

ATIA1 has no comparability problems.
