8 = Missing
9 = NIU (not in universe)
Description
For women who gave birth in the last three to five years, ANCAREIA3_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported that some other health personnel gave antenatal care for a birth. This response category is country-specific to India. The meaning of "other" must be interpreted relative to the specific categories included in a given sample.
ANCAREIA3_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (ANCAREIA3_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., ANCAREIA3_02, ANCAREIA3_03, ANCAREIA3_04, ANCAREIA3_05, and ANCAREIA3_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If ANCAREIA3_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
