Description
Definition
For young children with a fever or cough in the past 2 weeks, FEVTRNG6 indicates, in response to an open-ended question, whether the child received treatment from a spiritual healer for this illness. This response category is country-specific to Nigeria.
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.
FEVTRNG6 is combined with FEVTRNG5 (traditional practitioner) in FEVTRPRIVHL (all traditional healers/practitioners) for the 1999 and 2003 Nigeria samples. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using FEVTRNG6 are encouraged to review FEVTRPRIVHL for a more comprehensive response category.
