Definition
For children with a fever or cough in the past 2 weeks, FEVTRNP7 indicates, in response to an open-ended question, whether the child received treatment from the Family Planning Association of Nepal, a non-governmental organization. This response category is country-specific to Nepal.
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.
FEVTRNP7 is combined with other NGOs in the 2011 and 2016 Nepal surveys.
In the 2011 Nepal survey, FEVTRNP7 is combined with FEVTRNP6 (United Mission to Nepal) and FEVTRNP9 (other NGOs) in FEVTRNGO (all NGOs).
In the 2016 Nepal survey, FEVTRNP7 is combined with FEVTRNP8 (Marie Stopes) and FEVTRNP9 (other NGOs) in FEVTRNGO (all NGOs).
IPUMS-DHS users interested in using FEVTRNP7 are encouraged to review FEVTRNGO for a more comprehensive response category.
A few samples ask separately about treatment sought for fever and treatment sought 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 treatment was sought, and the second digit indicates the child's illness. For example, a code of "11" indicates the treatment was sought for the child's fever, a code of "12" indicates treatment was sought for the child's cough, and a code of "14" indicates treatment was sought for both the child's fever and cough.
