Description

ANSYMBD1_ALL indicates whether the woman sought advice or treatment from a family welfare visitor for pregnancy complications. This response category is country-specific to Bangladesh.

ANSYMBD1_ALL consists of separate variables, covering the most recent birth (ANSYMBD1_01) and, in some cases, additional births, up to, potentially, the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., ANSYMBD1_02, ANSYMBD1_03, ANSYMBD1_04, ANSYMBD1_05, and ANSYMBD1_06).

Comparability

Apart from universe differences, ANYSYMBD1_ALL is largely comparable across most samples. See comparability for more information.
