Description
ANCARESUPNUTR_ALL indicates whether the female respondent received supplementary nutrition while pregnant.
ANCARESUPNUTR_ALL consists of separate variables, covering the most recent birth (ANCARESUPNUTR_01) and, in some cases, additional births, potentially up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., ANCARESUPNUTR_02, ANCARESUPNUTR_03, ANCARESUPNUTR_04, ANCARESUPNUTR_05, and ANCARESUPNUTR_06). For most surveys, this information was collected for only the most recent birth; exceptions are noted in the comparability section.
