Description

Definition
For women who gave birth in the last five years, ANCAREGN5_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported that a traditional healer gave antenatal care for a birth. This response category is country-specific to Guinea.

ANCAREGN5_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (ANCAREGN5_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., ANCAREGN5_02, ANCAREGN5_03, ANCAREGN5_04, ANCAREGN5_05, and ANCAREGN5_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If ANCAREGN5_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
