Description

Definition

For young children with a fever or cough in the past 2 weeks, FEVTRBF5 indicates, in response to an open-ended question, whether the child received treatment at a government health center for this illness. This response category is country-specific to Burkina Faso.

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.

FEVTRBF5 is combined with FEVTRBF6 (center for health and social promotion) and FEVTRBF7 (maternal and child health center) in FEVTRPUBHC (all public health centers) for the 1993 and 1998 Burkina Faso samples. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using FEVTRBF5 are encouraged to review FEVTRPUBHC for a more comprehensive response category.
