Description

Definition

For children with a fever or cough in the past 2 weeks, FEVTRNP3 indicates, in response to an open-ended question, whether the child received treatment from some a public PHC (primary health care) outreach clinic. This response category is country-specific to Nepal.

A few samples ask separately about treatment sought for fever and treatment sought for cough. IPUMS-DHS uses supplemental programming to combine these responses in a standard variable while preserving the separate responses in composite coding. A first digit of 1 indicates treatment was sought, and the second digit indicates the child's illness. For example, a code of "11" indicates the treatment was sought for the child's fever, a code of "12" indicates treatment was sought for the child's cough, and a code of "14" indicates treatment was sought for both the child's fever and cough.
