Description

For women who gave birth in the five years before the survey, PNBABCKOTH_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, the child's postpartum health check was performed by some other person. The meaning of "other" must be interpreted relative to the specific categories included in a particular sample.

PNBABCKOTH_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (PNBABCKOTH_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., PNBABCKOTH_02, PNBABCKOTH_03, PNBABCKOTH_04, PNBABCKOTH_05, and PNBABCKOTH_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If PNBABCKOTH_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
