Comparability
Along with universe differences, there are differences in question wording for FSSEEKTREAT. For most samples, FSSEEKTREAT is based on the question "Have you sought treatment for this condition?," following a series of questions about the precipitating event for fistula. For some samples, the question asks specifically (and more narrowly) about treatment for obstetric fistula.
Comparability - Standard DHS
FSSEEKTREAT is not included in the standard DHS questionnaire, but the DHS standard module on fistula includes the question "Have you sought treatment for this condition?"
Comparability — Ethiopia [top]
Unlike most other samples, the 2005 Ethiopian survey asks, "Have you ever been treated for obstetric fistula?" This excludes treatment for fistula derived from other causes, such as sexual assault.
