ANCAREPL_ALL (ANCAREPL_ALL)
Place of last antenatal care visit

ANCAREPL_ALL variables are 2-digit variables.

See ANCAREPL_01 for the codes for these variables.

Description

For women who gave birth in the previous three to five years, ANCAREPL_ALL indicates where the woman last received antenatal care.

ANCAREPL_ALL consists of separate variables, covering the most recent birth (ANCAREPL_01) and, in some cases, additional births, up to, potentially, the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., ANCAREPL_02, ANCAREPL_03, ANCAREPL_04, ANCAREPL_05, and ANCAREPL_06).
