Description

For women who gave birth in the last 5 years and who received antenatal care during their most recent pregnancy, ANCET4_01 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported receiving care from some "other" NGO health facility. This response category is country-specific to Ethiopia.

Some samples in the "ANC" series include categories that can be consolidated into a single response. IPUMS-DHS uses supplemental programming to combine these responses in a standard variable while preserving the separate responses in country-specific variables.

ANCET4_01 is combined with ANCET3_01 (NGO health facility) in ANCNGO_01 (all NGOs) for the 2016 and 2019 Ethiopia samples. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using ANCET4_01 are encouraged to review ANCNGO for a more comprehensive response category.

Comparability

ANCET4_01 has no comparability problems.

Comparability - Standard DHS

An open-ended question on where antenatal care was sought is included in Phase V forward of the standard DHS questionnaire.

Although ANCET4_01 is a country-specific response, this variable is combined with other responses in ANCNGO_01, a variable that encompasses all nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) as sources of antenatal care. IPUMS-DHS users are encouraged to review the Description tab of ANCET4_01 or the Comparability tab of ANCNGO_01 for more information on the specific categories combined for Ethiopia 2016 and 2019.
