Description
ATMW4 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, the woman reported a private hospital/clinic/doctor as a place to be tested for the AIDS virus. This response category is country-specific to Malawi.
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.
ATMW4 is combined with ATMW3 (private company hospital/clinic) in ATPRIVHOS (private hospital, clinic, or doctor) for the 2010 Malawi sample. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using ATMW4 are encouraged to review ATPRIVHOS for a more comprehensive response category.
Comparability
ATMW4 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.
Though ATMW4 is a country-specific response not included in the standard DHS modules, it is combined with other responses in ATPRIVHOS, a standard variable that encompasses private hospital, clinics, and doctors as potential sources for an AIDS test. IPUMS-DHS users are encouraged to review the Description tab of ATMW4 or the Comparability tab of ATPRIVHOS for more information on the specific categories combined for the Malawi samples.
Universe
