Definition
For children with a fever or cough in the past 2 weeks, FEVTRNP8 indicates, in response to an open-ended question, whether the child received treatment from Marie Stopes International, a non-governmental organization (NGO) that provides contraception and safe abortion to women in urban and rural communities. 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.
FEVTRNP8 is combined with FEVTRNP7 (Family Planning Association of Nepal) and FEVTRNP9 (other NGOs) in FEVTRNGO (all NGOs) for the 2016 Nepal sample. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using FEVTRNP8 are encouraged to review FEVTRNGO for a more comprehensive response category.
