Description
TBCAREPRIVHOS indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, the respondent reported she would prefer to seek care at a private hospital or clinic 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 TBCAREPRIVHOS, while preserving the separate responses in country-specific variables. See Comparability for more information on the specific categories combined in TBCAREPRIVHOS.
