Description

Definition
For children with a fever or cough in the past 2 weeks, FEVTRPK1 indicates, in response to an open-ended question, whether the child received treatment from a private pharmacy (chemist or medical store). This response category is country-specific to Pakistan.

Some samples in the "FEVTR" series include multiple categories that can be consolidated into a single broad response. IPUMS-DHS uses supplemental programming to combine these responses in a standard variable, while also preserving the separate responses in country-specific variables.

FEVTRPK1 is combined with FEVTRPK2 (private dispenser/compounder) in FEVTRPRIVDRUG (all private formal drug sources) for the 2006, 2012, and 2017 Pakistan samples. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using FEVTRPK1 are encouraged to review FEVTRPRIVDRUG for a more comprehensive response category.
