Description

For women who gave birth in the last five years, AGETEA_ALL reports the age, in months, at which the child was first given herbal tea on a regular basis.

AGETEA_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (AGETEA_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., AGETEA_02, AGETEA_03, AGETEA_04, AGETEA_05, and AGETEA_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If AGETEA_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
