Demographic and Health Surveys
ANSYMFRND_ALL variables are 1-digit variables.
0 = No
1 = Yes
7 = Don't know
8 = Missing
9 = NIU (not in universe)
ANSYMFRND_ALL indicates whether the woman sought advice or treatment from neighbor or friend for pregnancy complications.
ANSYMFRND_ALL consists of separate variables, covering the most recent birth (ANSYMFRND_01) and, in some cases, additional births, up to, potentially, the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., ANSYMFRND_02, ANSYMFRND_03, ANSYMFRND_04, ANSYMFRND_05, and ANSYMFRND_06).

ANSYMFRND_ALL is largely comparable across most samples. See comparability for more information.
Comparability - Standard DHS
ANSYMFRND_ALL is a country-specific variable, and is not included in any phase of the standard DHS questionnaire.
The 2007 Bangladesh survey asks specifically about where the woman sought assistance for complications during delivery.
