Description
Definition
For young children with a fever or cough in the past 2 to 4 weeks, FEVGIVDK (ML13Z) indicates whether the child's mother did not know whether or what medicine was given to the child.
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's mother did not know whether or what medicine the child received, and the second digit indicates the child's illness:
11: The child received unknown treatment for a fever
12: The child received unknown treatment for a cough
13: The child received unknown treatment for a fever or a cough
14: The child received unknown treatment for both a fever and a cough
15: The child received unknown treatment for a fever or convulsions
16: The child received unknown treatment for a fever or difficult/rapid breathing
