Description

Definition
For young children with a fever or cough in the past 2 weeks, FEVTRZW3 indicates, in response to an open-ended question, whether the child received treatment at a public district/rural hospital for this illness. This response category is country-specific to Zimbabwe.

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.

FEVTRZW3 is combined with FEVTRZW1 (public central hospital) and FEVTRZW2 (public provincial hospital) in FEVTRPUBHOS (all public hospitals) for the 1994, 1999, and 2005 Zimbabwe samples.

In the 2010 Zimbabwe survey, "district hospital" and "rural hospital" are separated into two distinct response categories. These categories are preserved in the country-specific variables FEVTRZW4 and FEVTRZW5, respectively.

IPUMS-DHS users interested in using FEVTRZW3 are encouraged to review FEVTRPUBHOS for a more comprehensive response category.
