Description

Definition
For young children with a fever or cough in the past 2 weeks, FEVTRIA3 indicates, in response to an open-ended question, whether the child received treatment from a traditional healer 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.

FEVTRIA3 is combined with FEVTRIA4 (vaidya/hakim/homeopath) in FEVTRPRIVHL(all traditional healers/practitioners) for the 1998 and 2005 India samples. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using FEVTRIA3 are encouraged to review FEVTRPRIVHL for a more comprehensive response category.
