Description

For women who gave birth in the five years before the survey, PNBABCKBD6_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, the child's postpartum health check was performed by a traditional doctor. This variable is country-specific to Bangladesh.

PNBABCKBD6_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (PNBABCKBD6_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., PNBABCKBD6_02, PNBABCKBD6_03, PNBABCKBD6_04, PNBABCKBD6_05, and PNBABCKBD6_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If PNBABCKBD6_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
