Description

Definition

For young children with a fever or cough in the past 2 weeks, FEVTRET4 indicates, in response to an open-ended question, whether the child received treatment from a "VCHW" [voluntary community health worker] for this illness. This response category is country-specific to Ethiopia.

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.

FEVTRET4 is combined with FEVTRET2 (NGO health facility) in FEVTRNGO (all NGOs) for the 2011 Ethiopia sample. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using FEVTRET4 are encouraged to review FEVTRNGO for a more comprehensive response category.
