PRECALTERMCMC is a four-digit numeric variable.
9996 = Inconsistent
9997 = Don't know
9998 = Missing
9999 = NIU (not in universe)
Description
For women who had any pregnancies terminated through abortion, miscarriage or stillbirth prior to the survey's birth calendar, PRECALTERMCMC (V242) reports the century month date of the last pregnancy termination before the start of the birth calendar.
For information on how to interpret and calculate century month dates, see DOBCMC.
All samples in PRECALTERMCMC use the Gregorian calendar. For similar data for Ethiopian samples using the Ethiopian calendar, see PRECALTERMCMC_ET.
Comparability
Apart from universe differences and variation in the length of the birth calendar (i.e., 3, 4, or 5 years), PRECALTERMCMC (V242) is comparable across samples.
Comparability - Standard DHS
PRECALTERMCMC (V242) first appears as a standard variable in DHS phase IV and is consistent and included in all subsequent phases.
