Description

Definition

For young children with a fever or cough in the past 2 weeks, FEVTRML7 indicates, in response to an open-ended question, whether the child received treatment at a private pharmacy for this illness. This response category is country-specific to Mali.

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.

FEVTRML7 is combined with FEVTRML8 (private pharmacy depot) in FEVTRPRIVDRUG (all private, formal drug sources) for the 1995 Mali sample. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using FEVTRML7 are encouraged to review FEVTRPRIVDRUG for a more comprehensive response category.
