Description

For women who gave birth in the five years before the survey, PNBABCKBD5_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, the child's postpartum health check was performed by a medical assistant (MA) or sub-assistant community medical officer (SACMO). This variable is country-specific to Bangladesh.

PNBABCKBD5_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (PNBABCKBD5_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., PNBABCKBD5_02, PNBABCKBD5_03, PNBABCKBD5_04, PNBABCKBD5_05, and PNBABCKBD5_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If PNBABCKBD5_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
