Description

Definition

For young children with a fever or cough in the past 2 weeks, FEVTRZW8 indicates, in response to an open-ended question, whether the child received treatment at a "general dealer" for this illness. This response category is country-specific to Zimbabwe.

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.

FEVTRZW8 is combined with FEVTRZW9 (tuck shop/service station/bottle store/bar) and FEVTRZW10 (Other retail) in FEVTRSHOP (all shops/retailers) for the 2015 Zimbabwe sample. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using FEVTRZW8 are encouraged to review FEVTRSHOP for a more comprehensive response category.
