Description
For women who gave birth in the last 5 years and who received antenatal care during their most recent pregnancy, ANCIA6_01 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported receiving care from a village clinic by an auxiliary nurse/midwife. This response category is country-specific to India.
Some samples in the "ANC" series include categories that can be consolidated into a single response. IPUMS DHS uses supplemental programming to combine these responses in a standard variable while preserving the separate responses in country-specific variables.
ANCIA6_01 is combined with ANCIA3_01 (urban health center), ANCIA4_01 (primary health center), and ANCIA5_01 (sub-center) in ANCPUBHC_01 (all public health centers) for the 2019 India sample. IPUMS DHS users interested in using ANCIA6_01 are encouraged to review ANCPUBHC_01 for a more comprehensive response category.
