Definition
For young children with a fever or cough in the past 2 weeks, FEVTRML5 indicates, in response to an open-ended question, whether the child received treatment at a reference health center for this illness. This response category is country-specific to Mali.
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.
FEVTRML5 is combined with FEVTRML6 (community health center) in FEVTRPUBHC (all public health centers) for the 2012 Mali sample. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using FEVTRML5 are encouraged to review FEVTRPUBHC for a more comprehensive response category.
