8 = Missing
9 = NIU (not in universe)
Description
For women who gave birth in the last five years, ANCAREBF3_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported that a healer gave antenatal care for a birth. This response category is country-specific to Burkina Faso.
ANCAREBF3_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (ANCAREBF3_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., ANCAREBF3_02, ANCAREBF3_03, ANCAREBF3_04, ANCAREBF3_05, and ANCAREBF3_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If ANCAREBF3_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
