Description

ANSYMOTH_ALL indicates whether the woman sought advice or treatment from some other person for pregnancy complications. The meaning of "other" must be interpreted relative to the specific categories included in a particular sample.

ANSYMOTH_ALL consists of separate variables, covering the most recent birth (ANSYMOTH_01) and, in some cases, additional births, up to, potentially, the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., ANSYMOTH_02, ANSYMOTH_03, ANSYMOTH_04, ANSYMOTH_05, and ANSYMOTH_06).
