ANCARENG5_ALL variables are 1-digit variables.
0 = No
1 = Yes
8 = Missing
9 = NIU (not in universe)
Description
For women who gave birth in the last five years, ANCARENG5_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported that a church/mission worker gave antenatal care for a birth. This response category is country-specific to Nigeria.
ANCARENG5_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (ANCARENG5_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., ANCARENG5_02, ANCARENG5_03, ANCARENG5_04, ANCARENG5_05, and ANCARENG5_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If ANCARENG5_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
