Description

Definition
For young children with a fever or cough in the past 2 to 4 weeks, FEVGIVQUINPL indicates whether the child was given quinine pills (an antimalarial treatment).

FEVGIVQUINPL is combined with FEVGIVQUINIV (child given quinine injection/IV) to create the variable FEVGIVQUIN (ML13D), which was standard in earlier phases. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using FEVGIVQUINPL are encouraged to review FEVGIVQUIN for this more comprehensive response category.

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.
