Description
For women who gave birth in the last 5 years and who received antenatal care during their most recent pregnancy, ANCJO4_01 indicates whether they received care at a UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East) health center. This response category is country-specific to Jordan.
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.
ANCJO4_01 is combined with ANCJO5_01 (UNHCR/other NGO) in ANCNGO_01 (all NGOs) for the 2017 Jordan survey. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using ANCJO4_01 are encouraged to review ANCNGO_01 for a more comprehensive response category.
Comparability
ANCJO4_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 ANCJO4_01 is a country-specific response, this variable is combined with other responses in ANCNGO_01, a variable that encompasses all NGOs as sources of antenatal care. IPUMS-DHS users are encouraged to review the Description tab of ANCJO4_01 or the Comparability tab of ANCNGO_01 for more information on the specific categories combined for the Jordan samples.
