Description

For women who gave birth in the last 5 years and who received antenatal care during their most recent pregnancy, ANCPK1_01 indicates whether they received care at a public rural health center (RHC) or mother and child health (MCH) center. This response category is country-specific to Pakistan.

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.

ANCPK1_01 is combined with ANCPK2_01 (public basic health unit/family welfare center) in ANCPUBHC_01 (all public health centers) for the 2006, 2012, and 2017 Pakistan surveys. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using ANCPK1_01 are encouraged to review ANCPUBHC_01 for a more comprehensive response category.

Comparability

Apart from slight differences in question wording, ANCPK1_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 ANCPK1_01 is a country-specific response, this variable is combined with other responses in ANCPUBHC_01, a variable that encompasses all public health centers as sources of antenatal care. IPUMS-DHS users are encouraged to review the Description tab of ANCPK1_01 or the Comparability tab of ANCPUBHC_01 for more information on the specific categories combined for Pakistan 2006, 2012, and 2017.
