ANCAREFP_ALL variables are 1-digit variables.

7 = Don't know
8 = Missing
9 = NIU (not in universe)
Description
For women who gave birth in the five years before the survey, ANCAREFP_ALL indicates whether she was given information about family planning at least once during antenatal care.
ANCAREFP_ALL consists of separate variables, covering the most recent birth (ANCAREFP_01) and, in some cases, additional births, potentially up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., ANCAREFP_02, ANCAREFP_03, ANCAREFP_04, ANCAREFP_05, and ANCAREFP_06). For most surveys, this information was collected for only the most recent birth; exceptions are noted in the comparability section.

Comparability
Apart from universe differences and slight differences in question wording, ANCAREFP_ALL is largely comparable across samples.
Comparability - Standard DHS
ANCAREFP_ALL is a country-specific variable, and it is not included in the standard DHS questionnaire.
Comparability — Bangladesh [top]
The 2018 Bangladesh survey asks whether the female respondent received "counseling about family planning methods after birth" as part of her antenatal care.
Comparability — Egypt [top]
The 2000 and 2003 Egypt surveys ask whether anyone discussed family planning with the woman when she received a tetanus injection during the pregnancy.
Comparability — India [top]
The 2015 and 2019 India surveys ask whether the respondent received advice about "family planning or delaying or avoiding another pregnancy" in a meeting with a community health worker during the last 3 months of her pregnancy.
The 2019 India survey collected this information about the most recent birth up to the fourth-most-recent birth. The 2015 India survey collected this information on only the most recent birth.
