1 = Yes
8 = Missing
9 = NIU (not in universe)

Description

For women who gave birth in the last three to five years, ANCARENP4_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported some other health professional gave antenatal care for a birth. The meaning of "other" must be interpreted relative to the specific categories included in a particular sample. This response category is country-specific to Nepal.

ANCARENP4_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (ANCARENP4_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., ANCARENP4_02, ANCARENP4_03, ANCARENP4_04, ANCARENP4_05, and ANCARENP4_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If ANCARENP4_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.

Comparability

ANCARENP4_ALL has no comparability problems.
