Description
For women who gave birth in the last 5 years and who received antenatal care during their most recent pregnancy, ANCNP8_01 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported receiving care from Marie Stopes, a non-governmental organization. This response category is country-specific to Nepal.
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.
ANCNP8_01 is combined with other NGOs in the 2011 and 2016 Nepal surveys.
- In the 2011 Nepal survey, ANCNP8_01 is combined with ANCNP6_01 (UMN), ANCNP7_01 (FPAN), ANCNP9_01 (ADRA), and ANCNP10_01 (other NGO) in ANCNGO_01 (all NGOs).
- In the 2016 Nepal survey, ANCNP8_01 is combined with ANCNP7_01 (FPAN) and ANCNP10_01 (other NGO) in ANCNGO_01 (all NGOs).
IPUMS-DHS users interested in using ANCNP8_01 are encouraged to review ANCNGO_01 for a more comprehensive response category.
Comparability
ANCNP8_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 ANCNP8_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 ANCNP8_01 or the Comparability tab of ANCNGO_01 for more information on the specific categories combined for Nepal 2011 and 2016.
