Description

Definition

For children with a fever or difficult/rapid breathing in the past 2 weeks, FEVTRZA2 indicates, in response to an open-ended question, whether the child received treatment from a supermarket or shop. This response category is country-specific to South Africa.

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.

FEVTRZA2 is combined with FEVTRZA3 (market) in FEVTRSHOP (all shops/retailers) for the 2016 South Africa sample. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using FEVTRZA2 are encouraged to review FEVTRSHOP for a more comprehensive response category.
