Definition
For children with a fever or cough in the past 2 weeks, FEVTRJO8 indicates, in response to an open-ended question, whether the child received treatment from a private specialist clinic. 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 Jordan sample, FEVTRJO8 is combined with FEVTRJO6 (private hospital) and FEVTRJO7 (GP clinic) in FEVTRPRIVHOS (all private hospitals/clinics). IPUMS-DHS users interested in using FEVTRJO8 are encouraged to review FEVTRPRIVHOS for a more comprehensive response category.
