Description

Definition

For young children with a fever or cough in the past 2 weeks, FEVTRCM3 indicates, in response to an open-ended question, whether the child received treatment at a religious hospital/clinic for this illness. This response category is country-specific to Cameroon.

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

FEVTRCM3 is combined with FEVTRCM4 (religious health center/dispensary) in FEVTRPRIVMIS (all faith-based facilities) for the 1991, 1998, 2004, and 2011 Cameroon samples. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using FEVTRCM3 are encouraged to review FEVTRPRIVMIS for a more comprehensive response category.
