Description

Definition
For children with a fever or cough in the past 2 weeks, FEVTRJO3 indicates, in response to an open-ended question, whether the child received treatment from a government health center. This response category is country-specific to Jordan.

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 1990, 2002, 2007, 2012, and 2017 Jordan samples, FEVTRJO3 is combined with FEVTRJO4 (government MCH) in FEVTRPUBHC (all public health centers). IPUMS-DHS users interested in using FEVTRJO3 are encouraged to review FEVTRPUBHC for a more comprehensive response category.
