Description

For women who had symptoms of a sexually transmitted infection in the past 12 months, STIADKE2 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported seeking advice or treatment from a public community-based distributor for this problem. This response category is country-specific to Kenya.

Some samples in the "STIAD" series include multiple categories that can be consolidated into a single broad response. IPUMS-DHS uses supplemental programming to combine these responses in a standard variable, while also preserving the separate responses in country-specific variables.

STIADKE2 is combined with STIADKE1 (public community health worker) in STIADPUBFW (all public fieldworkers) for the 1998 Kenya samples. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using STIADKE2 are encouraged to review STIADPUBFW for a more comprehensive response category.

Comparability

STIADKE2 has no comparability problems.

Comparability - Standard DHS

An open-ended question about where the woman received advice/treatment for an STI is included in Phases III, V and VI forward of the standard DHS questionnaire.

Though STIADKE2 is a country-specific response not included in the standard DHS modules, it is combined with other responses in STIADPUBFW, a standard variable that encompasses all public fieldworkers as sources for STI advice/treatment. IPUMS-DHS users are encouraged to review the Description tab of STIADKE2 or the Comparability tab of STIADPUBFW for more information on the specific categories combined for the Kenya samples.
