Description
Definition
For young children with a fever or cough in the past 2 weeks, FEVTRBJ6 indicates, in response to an open-ended question, whether the child received treatment at a communal health center for this illness. This response category is country-specific to Benin.
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.
FEVTRBJ6 is combined with FEVTRBJ10 (government health center) in FEVTRPUBHC (all public health centers) for the 1996 Benin sample. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using FEVTRBJ6 are encouraged to review FEVTRPUBHC for a more comprehensive response category.
