Description
ANSYMBD7_ALL indicates whether the woman sought advice or treatment from a community skilled birth attendant for pregnancy complications. This response category is country-specific to Bangladesh.
ANSYMBD7_ALL consists of separate variables, covering the most recent birth (ANSYMBD7_01) and, in some cases, additional births, up to, potentially, the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., ANSYMBD7_02, ANSYMBD7_03, ANSYMBD7_04, ANSYMBD7_05, and ANSYMBD7_06).
