ANCAREWARM_ALL variables are 1-digit variables.
0 = No
1 = Yes
9 = NIU (not in universe)
Description
ANCAREWARM_ALL indicates whether during an antenatal visit the woman was given information or advice about keeping the baby warm.
ANCAREWARM_ALL consists of separate variables, covering the most recent birth (ANCAREWARM_01) and, in some cases, additional births, potentially up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., ANCAREWARM_02, ANCAREWARM_03, ANCAREWARM_04, ANCAREWARM_05, and ANCAREWARM_06). For most surveys, this information was collected for only the most recent birth; exceptions are noted in the comparability section.

Comparability — India [top]
The 2019 India survey collected this information about the most recent birth up to the fourth-most-recent birth. The 2015 India survey collected this information on only the most recent birth.
The 2015 and 2019 India surveys ask whether the respondent received advice about keeping the baby warm in a meeting with a community health worker during the last 3 months of her pregnancy.
