Description

Definition
For children with a fever or cough in the past 2 weeks, FEVTRMA2 indicates, in response to an open-ended question, whether the child received treatment from a traditional birth attendant. This response category is country-specific to Morocco.

Some samples in the "FEVTR" 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.

For the 2003 Morocco sample, FEVTRMA2 is combined with FEVTRMA1 (traditional practitioner) and FEVTRMA3 (traditional herbalist) in FEVTRPRIVHL (all traditional practitioners/healers). IPUMS-DHS users interested in using FEVTRMA2 are encouraged to review FEVTRPRIVHL for a more comprehensive response category.
