ANTOLDBLD_ALL variables are 1-digit variables.
0 = No
1 = Yes
8 = Missing
9 = NIU (not in universe)
Description
ANTOLDBLD_ALL indicates whether the woman was told, during an antenatal visit, about vaginal bleeding as a pregnancy complication.
ANTOLDBLD_ALL consists of separate variables, covering the most recent birth (ANTOLDBLD_01) and, in some cases, additional births, potentially up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., ANTOLDBLD_02, ANTOLDBLD_03, ANTOLDBLD_04, ANTOLDBLD_05, and ANTOLDBLD_06). For most surveys, this information was collected for only the most recent birth; exceptions are noted in the comparability section.

Comparability
Apart from universe differences and slight differences in question wording, ANTOLDBLD_ALL is largely comparable across samples.
Comparability - Standard DHS
ANTOLDBLD_ALL is a country-specific variable, and it is not included in the standard DHS women's questionnaire.
Comparability — Ethiopia [top]
The 2011 and 2016 Ethiopia samples ask the open-ended question, "Which signs of pregnancy complications were you told about?"
Comparability — India [top]
The 2005, 2015, and 2019 India samples ask, "During (any of) your antenatal care visit(s), were you told about the following signs of pregnancy complications: Vaginal bleeding?"
The 2019 India survey collected information on the first through fifth births, while the 2005 and 2015 surveys collected information on only the most recent birth.
