Description
For women who had symptoms of a sexually transmitted infection in the past 12 months, STIADEG16 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported seeking advice or treatment from a public health insurance organization for this problem. This response category is country-specific to Egypt.
Comparability
STIADEG16 has no comparability problems.
In the 2008 Egypt survey, "health insurance organization" and "curative care organization" are consolidated into one response category. This response is preserved in in IPUMS-DHS in STIADEG18.
