Description

Definition
For children with a fever or cough in the past 2 weeks, FEVTRYE1 indicates, in response to an open-ended question, whether the child received treatment from a traditional practitioner. This response category is country-specific to Yemen.

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.

For the 1991 Yemen sample, FEVTRYE1 is combined with FEVTRYE2 (traditional midwife) in FEVTRPRIVHL (all traditional practitioners/healers). IPUMS-DHS users interested in using FEVTRYE1 are encouraged to review FEVTRPRIVHL for a more comprehensive response category.
