Description

Definition
For children with a fever or cough in the past 2 weeks, FEVTRBD8 indicates, in response to an open-ended question, whether the child received treatment from a traditional practitioner. This response category is country-specific to Bangladesh.

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 1997, 2000, and 2007 Bangladesh samples, FEVTRBD8 is combined with FEVTRBD7 (traditional homeopathic doctor) in FEVTRPRIVHL (all traditional practitioners/healers). IPUMS-DHS users interested in using FEVTRBD8 are encouraged to review FEVTRPRIVHL for a more comprehensive response category.
