Description

ANCARECHWL3MO_ALL indicates whether the woman saw a community health worker during the last 3 months of her pregnancy.

ANCARECHWL3MO_ALL consists of separate variables, covering the most recent birth (ANCARECHWL3MO_01) and, in some cases, additional births, potentially up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., ANCARECHWL3MO_02, ANCARECHWL3MO_03, ANCARECHWL3MO_04, ANCARECHWL3MO_05, and ANCARECHWL3MO_06). For most surveys, this information was collected for only the most recent birth; exceptions are noted in the comparability section.
