Description

Definition

For young children with a fever or cough in the past 2 weeks, FEVTRMG6 indicates, in response to an open-ended question, whether the child received treatment at a level I government health center for this illness. This response category is country-specific to Madagascar.

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.

FEVTRMG6 is combined with FEVTRMG5 (level II government health center) in FEVTRPUBHC (all public health centers) for the 2003 and 2008 Madagascar samples. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using FEVTRMG6 are encouraged to review FEVTRPUBHC for a more comprehensive response category.
