Description

Definition

For young children with a fever or cough in the past 2 weeks, FEVTRNE4 indicates, in response to an open-ended question, whether the child received treatment at a government health center for this illness. This response category is country-specific to Niger.

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.

FEVTRNE4 is combined with FEVTRNE5 (maternal and child health center) in FEVTRPUBHC (all public health centers) for the 1992 Niger sample.

Additionally, FEVTRNE4 is combined with FEVTRNE8 (family health center) in FEVTRPUBHC for the 2006 Niger sample.

IPUMS-DHS users interested in using FEVTRNE4 are encouraged to review FEVTRPUBHC for a more comprehensive response category.
