Description

Definition

For young children with a fever or cough in the past 2 weeks, FEVTREG5 indicates, in response to an open-ended question, whether the child received treatment at an urban/rural health unit for this illness. This response category is country-specific to Egypt.

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.

FEVTREG5 is combined with FEVTREG6 (maternal and child health center) in FEVTRPUBHC (all public health centers) for the 2000 and 2005 Egypt samples. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using FEVTREG5 are encouraged to review FEVTRPUBHC for a more comprehensive response category.

Additionally, in the 2008 and 2014 Egypt samples, there are separate response categories for "urban health unit" and "rural health unit." These responses are preserved in the country-specific variables FEVTREG7 and FEVTREG8.
