Comparability
Along with universe differences, the response categories for ORSSRC vary across samples.
The harmonized coding categories in the IPUMS-DHS variable ORSSRC were constructed to reflect the major and minor categories in the variable. The major categories are:
- 1000: Public sector facilities
- 2000: Private medical sector facilities
- 3000: Other
The second, third, and fourth digits of ORSSRC's codes distinguish between specific locations and provide detail present in only some samples.
Comparability - Standard DHS
ORSSRC is a country-specific variable, and it is not included in any phase of the standard DHS questionnaire.
