Comparability

Apart from universe differences and slight variation in response category wording, ATPRIVFW (V784O) is comparable across most samples. Most commonly, this variable is organized under the "Private Medical Sector" header and is worded as "fieldworker." Only surveys with potential comparability issues are discussed below.

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

ATPRIVFW (V784O) first appears in Phase V of the Standard DHS. That response is removed from the standard questionnaire in Phase VI, but ATPRIVFW is still included in some Phase VI samples.
