The DHS Program, which manages registration and access for IPUMS DHS, is again reviewing new user applications and requests for expanded access from currently approved users.
Codes
This variable is not available for any of the currently selected samples.
Description
For women who had a pregnancy end without a live birth (through abortion, stillbirth or miscarriage) (usually in the 5 years before the survey), PREGTERMPREV (V234) indicates whether the woman had any other pregnancies that ended without a live birth.
Comparability
Apart from universe differences and slight variation in question wording, PREGTERMPREV (V234) is comparable across most samples. Samples with comparability issues are noted below.
Note that, for most samples, the universe is restricted to women who had a pregnancy termination in the last 5 years, but for a few samples, the universe is women who had a pregnancy termination at any time. Users should check the Universe tab to identify samples in the latter group.
Comparability - Standard DHS
PREGTERMPREV (V234) is included in Phase II forward of the standard DHS questionnaire.
In Phase II, the standard questionnaire asks, "Did you ever have any other such pregnancies?" In Phases III and IV, the standard questionnaire asks, "Have you ever had any other pregnancies which did not result in a live birth?"
In Phase V forward, the standard questionnaire asks, "Since January 20XX [5 years before survey] [emphasis added], have you had any other pregnancies that did not result in a live birth?"
Universe
