Description
Definition
For young children with a fever or cough in the past 2 to 4 weeks, FEVGIVHERB indicates whether the child was given a home remedy or herbal medicine.
A few samples ask separately about drugs taken for fever and drugs taken 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 the child received the drug, and the second digit indicates the child's illness. A code of "11" indicates the child was given the drug for a fever, a code of "12" indicates the child was given the drug for a cough, a code of "13" indicates the child was given the drug for a fever or a cough, a code of "14" indicates the child was given the drug for both a fever and a cough, and a code of "15" indicates the child was given the drug for a fever or convulsions. See Comparability for more information.
