Description
ANCAREDELOC_ALL indicates whether the woman was advised to deliver her baby at a hospital or clinic at least once during antenatal care.
ANCAREDELOC_ALL consists of separate variables, covering the most recent birth (ANCAREDELOC_01) and, in some cases, additional births, potentially up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., ANCAREDELOC_02, ANCAREDELOC_03, ANCAREDELOC_04, ANCAREDELOC_05, and ANCAREDELOC_06). For most surveys, this information was collected for only the most recent birth; exceptions are noted in the comparability section.
