ANCNOSERV_ALL variables are 1-digit variables.
0 = No
1 = Yes
8 = Missing
9 = NIU (not in universe)
Description
ANCNOSERV_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, the woman reported she did not receive antenatal care because of poor service.
ANCNOSERV_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (ANCNOSERV_01) up to, potentially, the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., ANCNOSERV_02, ANCNOSERV_03, ANCNOSERV_04, ANCNOSERV_05, and ANCNOSERV_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If ANCNOSERV_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
