Description

Definition
For children with a fever or cough in the past 2 weeks, FEVTRLS3 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, the child was reported to have received treatment from a CHAL [Christian Health Association of Lesotho] health post. This response category is country-specific to Lesotho.

Some samples in the "FEVTR" series include categories that can be consolidated into a single response. IPUMS-DHS uses supplemental programming to combine these responses in a standard variable while preserving the separate responses in country-specific variables.

FEVTRLS3 is combined with FEVTRLS1 (CHAL hospital) and FEVTRLS2 (CHAL health center) in FEVTRPRIVMIS (all faith-based facilities) for the 2009 and 2014 Lesotho samples. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using FEVTRLS3 are encouraged to review FEVTRPRIVMIS for a more comprehensive response category.
