Description

Definition
For children with a fever or difficult or rapid breathing in the past 2 weeks, FEVTRPK11 indicates, in response to an open-ended question, whether the child received treatment from a community midwife. 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.

In the 2017 Pakistan sample, FEVTRPK11 is combined with FEVTRPK3 (homeopath), FEVTRPK4 (hakim), and FEVTRPPK5 (dai/traditional birth attendant) in FEVTRPRIVHL (all traditional practitioners/healers). IPUMS-DHS users interested in using FEVTRPK11 are encouraged to review FEVTRPRIVHL for a more comprehensive response category for the 2017 Pakistan sample.
