Description

For women who gave birth in the last 5 years and who received antenatal care during their most recent pregnancy, ANCML2_01 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported receiving care at a public "regional hospital." This response category is country-specific to Mali.

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.

ANCML2_01 is combined with ANCML1_01 (Public national hospital) in ANCPUBHOS_01 (all public hospitals) for the 2012 and 2018 Mali sample. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using ANCML2_01 are encouraged to review ANCPUBHOS_01 for a more comprehensive response category.

Comparability

ANCML2_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 ANCML2_01 is a country-specific response, this variable is combined with other responses in ANCPUBHOS_01, a variable that encompasses all public hospitals as sources of antenatal care. IPUMS-DHS users are encouraged to review the Description tab of ANCML2_01 or the Comparability tab of ANCPUBHOS_01 for more information on the specific categories combined for Mali 2012 and 2018.
