Description

For women who gave birth in the last three to five years, ANIROND_ALL (M46_x) indicates the number of days they took iron tablets or syrup during the pregnancy.

ANIROND_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (ANIROND_01) up to, potentially, the sixth most recent birth (i.e., ANIROND_02, ANIROND_03, ANIROND_04, ANIROND_05, and ANIROND_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If ANIROND_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.

For most surveys, this information on days of taking iron supplements during pregnancy was collected for only the most recent birth (ANIROND_01). Surveys in which the data were collected for additional births are noted in the comparability section.

Comparability

Apart from universe differences and slight differences in question wording, ANIROND_ALL (M46_x) is largely comparable across samples. A few samples, noted below, included women who did not consume the iron supplements (i.e., took for 0 days) they were given. Most surveys collected this information for only the most recent birth; exceptions are noted below.

Comparability - Standard DHS

ANIROND_ALL (M46_x) is included in the standard DHS questionnaire for Phase 4 forward.

Comparability — Burkina Faso [top]

The 2010 Burkina Faso sample reports some women had but never consumed their iron supplements, while the 2003 Burkina Faso sample reports no such cases.

Comparability — Egypt [top]

The 2000 and 2003 Egyptian surveys collected information for this variable for all births occurring in the reference period; the other Egyptian surveys, for 2005, 2008, and 2014, collected this information for the most recent birth only.

The 2005 and 2008 Egyptian samples report women who had but never consumed their iron supplements, while the 2000 Egyptian sample reports no such cases.

Comparability — India [top]

The 2005 Indian survey includes a large number of women who reported receiving or purchasing iron supplements but never took them.

Comparability — Uganda [top]

The 2011 Ugandan sample reports some women had but never consumed their iron supplements, while the 2001 and 2006 Ugandan samples report no such cases.
