Description

For women who gave birth in the last five years, ANCARETZ2_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported that a rural medical aide gave antenatal care for a birth. This response category is country-specific to Tanzania.

ANCARETZ2_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (ANCARETZ2_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., ANCARETZ2_02, ANCARETZ2_03, ANCARETZ2_04, ANCARETZ2_05, and ANCARETZ2_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If ANCARETZ2_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
