Description

Definition
For young children with a fever or cough in the past 2 weeks, FEVTREG4 indicates, in response to an open-ended question, whether the child received treatment from some "other NGO" 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.

FEVTREG4 is combined with FEVTREG3 (CSI Project) in FEVTRNGO (all NGOs) for the 2005, 2008, and 2014 Egypt samples. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using FEVTREG4 are encouraged to review FEVTRNGO for a more comprehensive response category.
