Description

Definition

For women who gave birth in the last three to five years, ANCAREMG1_01 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported that a nurse gave antenatal care (for the last birth). This response category is country-specific to Madagascar.

Some samples in the "ANCARE" series include multiple categories that can be consolidated into a single broad response. IPUMS-DHS uses supplemental programming to combine these responses in a standard variable, while also preserving the separate responses in country-specific variables.

ANCAREMG1_01 is combined with ANCAREMG2_01 (midwife) for the 1992 and 1997 Madagascar samples to make the standard variable ANCARENURM_01). IPUMS-DHS users interested in using ANCAREMG1_01 are encouraged to review ANCARENURM_01 for this more comprehensive response category.
