Description

For women who gave birth in the last five years, ANCARESN3_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported that a nurse/midwife/health agent gave antenatal care for a recent birth. This response category is country-specific to Senegal.

ANCARESN3_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (ANCARESN3_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., ANCARESN3_02, ANCARESN3_03, ANCARESN3_04, ANCARESN3_05, and ANCARESN3_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If ANCARESN3_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.

ANCARESN3_ALL has no comparability problems.
