Description

ANCNOLONGWT_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, the woman reported she did not receive antenatal care because of the long waiting time.

ANCNOLONGWT_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (ANCNOLONGWT_01) up to, potentially, the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., ANCNOLONGWT_02, ANCNOLONGWT_03, ANCNOLONGWT_04, ANCNOLONGWT_05, and ANCNOLONGWT_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If ANCNOLONGWT_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
