Description
ATPRIVMIS indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, the woman reported a faith-based health facility as a place to be tested 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 faith-based facilities that could be combined in ATPRIVMIS to create a more comprehensive response category. See Comparability for more information on the specific categories combined in this variable.

Comparability
Along with universe differences, the wording and organization of ATPRIVMIS varies across samples. ATPRIVMIS is ultimately concerned with whether any faith-based health facility was reported, not about the specific type of facility reported.
Some samples included multiple faith-based sources in distinct response categories. For example, a sample might include "religious hospital" and "religious health center" as separate response options. As ATPRIVMIS focuses on all faith-based 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
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. Responses are country-specific.
Comparability — Burundi [top]
In the 2016 Burundi survey, under the "Registered medical sector" header, there are three separate categories for "registered hospital," "registered health center," and "other registered medical sector." As ATPRIVMIS focuses on all faith-based facilities, these responses are consolidated in this variable to create a more comprehensive response category. For researchers interested in preserving these country-specific categories:
Comparability — Cameroon [top]
In the 2011 and 2018 Cameroon surveys, there are separate categories for "religious hospital/clinic" and "religious health center." As ATPRIVMIS focuses on all faith-based sources, these responses are consolidated in this variable to create a more comprehensive response category. For researchers interested in preserving these country-specific categories:
Comparability — Eswatini (Swaziland) [top]
In the 2006 Eswatini/Swaziland survey, under the "Mission" header, there are three separate categories for "mission hospital," "mission clinic," and "other mission." As ATPRIVMIS focuses on all faith-based facilities, these responses are consolidated in this variable to create a more comprehensive response category. For researchers interested in preserving these country-specific categories:
Comparability — Lesotho [top]
In the 2014 Lesotho survey, there are separate categories for "CHAL [Christian Health Association of Lesotho] hospital," "CHAL health center," and "CHAL health post." Because ATPRIVMIS focuses on all faith-based facilities, these responses are consolidated in this variable to create a more comprehensive response category. For researchers interested in preserving the country-specific categories:
- CHAL hospital is listed as ATLS1 in IPUMS-DHS
- CHAL health center is listed as ATLS2 in IPUMS-DHS
- CHAL health post is listed as ATLS3 in IPUMS-DHS
In the 2009 Lesotho surveys, ATLS1 and ATLS2 are consolidated in ATPRIVMIS.
Comparability — Malawi [top]
In the 2010 Malawi survey, there are separate categories for "mission hospital" and "mission health center." As ATPRIVMIS focuses on all faith-based sources, these responses are consolidated in this variable to create a more comprehensive response category. For researchers interested in preserving these country-specific categories:
