Comparability

Comparability - Standard DHS
TBDIAGPRO is a country-specific variable, and it is not included in any phase of the standard DHS questionnaire.
Comparability — Lesotho [top]
In the 2004 and 2009 Lesotho surveys, if the respondent reported having any symptoms of tuberculosis since age 15 and sought treatment, the questionnaire asks, "During that first visit [emphasis added], were you told by a doctor or another health professional that you had tuberculosis?" In the 2014 Lesotho survey, the questionnaire does not specify the first visit, asking, "Were you told by a doctor or a nurse that you had tuberculosis?"
