Definition
For children with a fever or cough in the past 2 weeks, FEVTRBD9 indicates, in response to an open-ended question, whether the child received treatment from a private hospital/clinic. 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.
FEVTRBD9 is combined with FEVTRBD10 (Private medical college hospital) in FEVTRPRIVHOS (all private hospitals and clinics) for the 2011 Bangladesh sample. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using FEVTRBD9 are encouraged to review FEVTRPRIVHOS for a more comprehensive response category.
