Description

For women who gave birth in the five years before the survey, PNBABCKBD3_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, the child's postpartum health check was performed by a community skilled birth attendant. This variable is country-specific to Bangladesh.

PNBABCKBD3_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (PNBABCKBD3_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., PNBABCKBD3_02, PNBABCKBD3_03, PNBABCKBD3_04, PNBABCKBD3_05, and PNBABCKBD3_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If PNBABCKBD3_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
