Description
ANCARECHWL3MOLOC_ALL indicates whether the woman saw a community health worker at home or elsewhere during the last 3 months of her pregnancy.
ANCARECHWL3MOLOC_ALL consists of separate variables, covering the most recent birth (ANCARECHWL3MOLOC_01) and, in some cases, additional births, potentially up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., ANCARECHWL3MOLOC_02, ANCARECHWL3MOLOC_03, ANCARECHWL3MOLOC_04, ANCARECHWL3MOLOC_05, and ANCARECHWL3MOLOC_06). For most surveys, this information was collected for only the most recent birth; exceptions are noted in the comparability section.
