Description

For women who gave birth in the last three to five years, ANCARECI3_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported that a traditional healer gave antenatal care for a birth. This response category is country-specific to Cote d'Ivoire.

ANCARECI3_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (ANCARECI3_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., ANCARECI3_02, ANCARECI3_03, ANCARECI3_04, ANCARECI3_05, and ANCARECI3_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If ANCARECI3_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
