ANCAREXRAY_ALL variables are 1-digit variables.
0 = No
1 = Yes
7 = Don't know
8 = Missing
9 = NIU (not in universe)
Description
For women who gave birth in the last three to five years, ANCAREXRAY_ALL indicates whether the woman had an x-ray at least once during antenatal care.
ANCAREXRAY_ALL consists of separate variables, covering the most recent birth (ANCAREXRAY_01) and, in some cases, additional births, up to, potentially, the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., ANCAREXRAY_02, ANCAREXRAY_03, ANCAREXRAY_04, ANCAREXRAY_05, and ANCAREXRAY_06). For most surveys, this information on x-rays during pregnancy was collected for only the most recent birth; exceptions are noted in the comparability section.

Comparability
Apart from universe differences and slight differences in question wording, ANCAREXRAY_ALL has no comparability problems. Surveys collecting these data on more than the most recent birth are noted below.
