Definition
For young children with a fever or cough in the past 2 weeks, FEVTRAO3 indicates, in response to an open-ended question, whether the child received treatment at a public municipal hospital for this illness. This response category is country-specific to Angola.
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.
FEVTRAO3 is combined with FEVTRAO1 (public central hospital) and FEVTRAO2 (public provincial hospital) in FEVTRPUBHOS (all public hospitals) for the 2015 Angola sample. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using FEVTRAO3 are encouraged to review FEVTRPUBHOS for a more comprehensive response category.
A few samples ask separately about drugs taken for fever and drugs taken for cough. IPUMS-DHS uses supplemental programming to combine these responses in a standard variable while preserving the separate responses in composite coding. A first digit of 1 indicates the child received the drug, and the second digit indicates the child's illness. For example, a code of "11" indicates the child was given the drug for a fever, a code of "12" indicates the child was given the drug for a cough, and a code of "14" indicates the child was given the drug for both a fever and a cough.
