Description

For women who gave birth in the last 5 years and who received antenatal care during their most recent pregnancy, ANCNP6_01 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported receiving care from a United Mission to Nepal (UMN) facility or a Red Cross hospital, non-governmental organizations. This response category is country-specific to Nepal.

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.

ANCNP6_01 is combined with other NGOs in the 2006 and 2011 Nepal surveys.

• In the 2006 Nepal survey, ANCNP6_01 is combined with ANCNP10_01 (other NGO) in ANCNGO_01 (all NGOs).
• In the 2011 Nepal survey, ANCNP6_01 is combined with ANCNP7_01 (FPAN), ANCNP8_01 (Marie Stopes), ANCNP9_01 (ADRA), and ANCNP10_01 (other NGO) in ANCNGO_01 (all NGOs).

IPUMS-DHS users interested in using ANCNP6_01 are encouraged to review ANCNGO_01 for a more comprehensive response category.

Comparability

ANCNP6_01 differs slightly across survey years in the wording of the response category. The 2006 Nepal survey lists "UMN/Red Cross hospital" as a response category. The 2011 Nepal survey lists only "UMN."

Comparability - Standard DHS

An open-ended question on where antenatal care was sought is included in Phase V forward of the standard DHS questionnaire.

Although ANCNP6_01 is a country-specific response, this variable is combined with other responses in ANCNGO_01, a variable that encompasses all NGOs as sources of antenatal care. IPUMS-DHS users are encouraged to review the Description tab of ANCNP6_01 or the Comparability tab of ANCNGO_01 for more information on the specific categories combined for Nepal 2006 and 2011.
