Definition
For children with a fever or cough in the past 2 weeks, FEVTRNP9 indicates, in response to an open-ended question, whether the child received treatment from some other non-governmental organization. The meaning of "other" must be interpreted relative to the specific categories included in a particular sample. 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.
FEVTRNP9 is combined with other NGOs in the 2001, 2006, 2011, and 2016 Nepal surveys.
In the 2001 and 2006 Nepal surveys, FEVTRNP9 is combined with FEVTRNP6 (United Mission to Nepal) in FEVTRNGO (all NGOs).
In the 2011 Nepal survey, FEVTRNP9 is combined with FEVTRNP6 (United Mission to Nepal) and FEVTRNP7 (Family Planning Association of Nepal) in FEVTRNGO (all NGOs).
In the 2011 Nepal survey, FEVTRNP9 is combined with FEVTRNP7 (Family Planning Association of Nepal) and FEVTRNP8 (Marie Stopes) in FEVTRNGO (all NGOs).
IPUMS-DHS users interested in using FEVTRNP9 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.
