Description
TBCARENGO indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, the female respondent reported she would prefer to seek care at an NGO if she had tuberculosis.
Some samples in the "TBCARE" series include categories that can be consolidated into a single response. IPUMS-DHS uses supplemental programming to combine these responses in a standard variable, such as TBCARENGO, while preserving the separate responses in country-specific variables. See Comparability for more information on the specific categories combined in TBCARENGO.
