Description

ANSYMMA1_01 indicates whether the woman sought advice or treatment from her mother for pregnancy complications (for the last birth)

Some samples in the "ANSYM" 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.

ANSYMMA1_01 is combined with ANSYMMA2_01 (husband) and ANSYMMA3_01 (other relative) in ANSYMREL_01 (all relatives) for the 2003 Morocco. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using ANSYMMA1_01 are encouraged to review ANSYMREL_01 for a more comprehensive response category.

Comparability

ANSYMMA1_01 has no comparability problems.

Comparability - Standard DHS

ANSYMMA1_01 is a country-specific variable, and is not included in any phase of the standard DHS questionnaire.

Although ANSYMMA1_01 is a country-specific response, this variable is combined with other responses in ANSYMREL_01, a variable that encompasses all relatives as sources for advice or treatment for pregnancy complciations. IPUMS-DHS users are encouraged to review the Description tab of ANSYMMA1_01 or the Comparability tab of ANSYMREL_01 for more information on the specific categories combined for Morocco 2003.
