Description

For women who gave birth in the last three to five years, ANCAREMA1_01 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported that a nurse gave antenatal care (for the last birth). This response category is country-specific to Morocco.

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.

ANCAREMA1_01 is combined with ANCAREMA2_01 (midwife) for the 1992 and 2003 Morocco samples to make the standard variable ANCARENURM_01 (nurse/midwife). IPUMS-DHS users interested in using ANCAREMA1_01 are encouraged to review ANCARENURM_01 for this more comprehensive response category.

Comparability

Apart from universe differences, ANCAREMA1_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.

Although ANCAREMA1_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 ANCAREMA1_01 or the Comparability tab of ANCARENURM_01 for more information on the specific categories combined for Morocco 1992 and 2003.
