ANSYMBD4_ALL indicates whether the woman sought advice or treatment from a homeopath for pregnancy complications. This response category is country-specific to Bangladesh.
ANSYMBD4_ALL consists of separate variables, covering the most recent birth (ANSYMBD4_01) and, in some cases, additional births, up to, potentially, the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., ANSYMBD4_02, ANSYMBD4_03, ANSYMBD4_04, ANSYMBD4_05, and ANSYMBD4_06).
