Description

Definition

For women who gave birth in the last five years, ANCAREGN2_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported that a midwife gave antenatal care for a birth. This response category is country-specific to Guinea.

ANCAREGN2_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (ANCAREGN2_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., ANCAREGN2_02, ANCAREGN2_03, ANCAREGN2_04, ANCAREGN2_05, and ANCAREGN2_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If ANCAREGN2_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.

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.

ANCAREGN2_ALL is combined with ANCAREGN1_ALL (nurse) for the 1999, 2005, and 2012 Guinea samples to make the standard variable ANCARENURM_ALL. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using ANCAREGN2_ALL are encouraged to review ANCARENURM_ALL for this more comprehensive response category.
