Description

For women who gave birth in the last five years, ANCAREGN2_01 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported that a midwife gave antenatal care (for the last birth). This response category is country-specific to Guinea.

Some samples in the "ANCARE" series include multiple categories that can be consolidated into a single broad response. IPUMS-DHS uses supplemental programming to combine these responses in a standard variable, while also preserving the separate responses in country-specific variables.

ANCAREGN2_01 is combined with ANCAREGN1_01 (nurse) for the 1999, 2005, and 2012 Guinea samples to make the standard variable ANCARENURM_01. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using ANCAREGN2_01 are encouraged to review ANCARENURM_01 for this more comprehensive response category.

Comparability

ANCAREGN2_01 has no comparability problems.

Comparability - Standard DHS

An open-ended question about who provided antenatal care is included in Phase II forward of the standard DHS questionnaire.

Though ANCAREGN2_01 is a country-specific response, it is combined with other responses in ANCARENURM_01, a standard variable that encompasses nurses/midwives as sources of antenatal care. IPUMS-DHS users are encouraged to review the Description tab of ANCAREGN2_01 or the Comparability tab of ANCARENURM_01 for more information on the specific categories combined for Ghana 1999, 2005, and 2012.
