Description

ATPRIVDRUG (V784M) indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, the woman reported a private pharmacy, drug store, or dispensary as a source for testing for the AIDS virus.

Some samples in the "AT" series include categories that can be consolidated into a single response. IPUMS-DHS uses supplemental programming to combine these responses in a standard variable while preserving the separate responses in country-specific variables.

For example, a given sample might include multiple categories for different types of private drug sources that could be combined in ATPRIVDRUG to create a more comprehensive response category. See Comparability for more information on the specific categories combined in this variable.

Comparability

Apart from universe differences and slight variation in response category wording, ATPRIVDRUG is largely comparable across samples. Most commonly, samples categorized this response under a "private medical sector" header and labeled it "pharmacy." Some samples combined "pharmacy" with other drug sources, such as "chemist" or "drug store," into a single response.

In other cases, samples separate "pharmacy" and other private, formal drug sources into distinct categories. As ATPRIVDRUG focuses on all private, formal drug sources, IPUMS-DHS consolidates these response categories in this variable to form a single, comprehensive response. Countries of particular interest are noted below.

Due to the variation in category wording, IPUMS-DHS users are encouraged to review the Survey Text tab.

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

ATPRIVDRUG (V784M) is included in Phase V of the Standard DHS questionnaire. Although this response category is removed from the standard questionnaire for Phase VI, some Phase VI samples still included ATPRIVDRUG.
