Description

For women who gave birth in the last five years, ANCARETD4_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported that a traditional healer gave antenatal care for a birth. This response category is country-specific to Chad.

ANCARETD4_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (ANCARETD4_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., ANCARETD4_02, ANCARETD4_03, ANCARETD4_04, ANCARETD4_05, and ANCARETD4_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If ANCARETD4_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.

Comparability

Apart from slight differences in question wording, ANCARETD4_ALL has no comparability problems.
