Description

Definition
For children with a fever or cough in the past 2 weeks, FEVTRNP4 indicates, in response to an open-ended question, whether the child received treatment at a private hospital for this illness. This response category is country-specific to Nepal.

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 1996, 2001, 2006, and 2016 Nepal samples, FEVTRNP4 is combined with FEVTRNP5 (private clinic) in FEVTRPRIVHOS (all private hospitals/clinics). IPUMS-DHS users interested in using FEVTRNP4 are encouraged to review FEVTRPRIVHOS for a more comprehensive response category.

A few samples ask separately about treatment sought for fever and treatment sought for cough. IPUMS-DHS uses supplemental programming to combine these responses in a standard variable while preserving the separate responses in composite coding. A first digit of 1 indicates treatment was sought, and the second digit indicates the child's illness. For example, a code of "11" indicates the treatment was sought for the child's fever, a code of "12" indicates treatment was sought for the child's cough, and a code of "14" indicates treatment was sought for both the child's fever and cough.
