Description

For women who gave birth in the five years before the survey, PNBABCKBD1_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, the child's postpartum health check was performed by a nurse, midwife, or paramedic. This variable is country-specific to Bangladesh.

PNBABCKBD1_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (PNBABCKBD1_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., PNBABCKBD1_02, PNBABCKBD1_03, PNBABCKBD1_04, PNBABCKBD1_05, and PNBABCKBD1_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If PNBABCKBD1_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
