Description

For women who gave birth in the last three to five years, ANCAREHW_ALL (M2H_x) indicates whether a community or village health worker gave antenatal care. Wording for this category varied across samples. See Comparability. Women could report more than one type of healthcare (or traditional) provider.

ANCAREHW_ALL consists of separate variables, covering the most recent birth (ANCAREHW_01) and, in some cases, additional births, up to, potentially, the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., ANCAREHW_02, ANCAREHW_03, ANCAREHW_04, ANCAREHW_05, and ANCAREHW_06). For most surveys, this information on antenatal care from a community health worker was collected for only the most recent birth; exceptions are noted in the comparability section.

Comparability

In additional to universe differences, question wording for ANCAREHW_ALL (M2H_x) varied slightly across samples. Most survey forms included the term "community/village health worker." A minority of samples, discussed below, used alternative wording for such a person. Most surveys collected information for only the most recent birth; exceptions are noted below.
