Description

Definition

For women who gave birth in the previous three to five years, ANCAREWHY_ALL reports the main reason why the woman first sought antenatal care.

ANCAREWHY_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (ANCAREWHY_01) up to, potentially, the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., ANCAREWHY_02, ANCAREWHY_03, ANCAREWHY_04, ANCAREWHY_05, and ANCAREWHY_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If ANCAREWHY_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.

For most surveys, this information on why the woman first sought antenatal care was collected for only the most recent birth (ANCAREWHY_01). Surveys in which the data were collected for additional births are noted in the comparability section.
