Description

Definition

For young children with a fever or cough in the past 2 weeks, FEVTRIA1 indicates, in response to an open-ended question, whether the child received treatment at a "NGO trust hospital/clinic" for this illness. This response category is country-specific to India.

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.

FEVTRIA1 is combined with FEVTRIA2 (NGO worker) in FEVTRNGO (all NGOs) for the 1998 India sample. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using FEVTRIA1 are encouraged to review FEVTRNGO for a more comprehensive response category.
