Codes and Frequencies
Description
For women who gave birth in the last five years and who received antenatal care during their most recent pregnancy, ANCPRIVMATERN_01 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported receiving care at a private maternity center.
For a similar variable, see ANCPUBMATERN_01 (received care at a public maternity center).
Comparability
In addition to universe differences, ANCPRIVMATERN_01 varies slightly in question wording across samples. IPUMS-DHS users are encouraged to review the Survey Text tab for samples of interest.
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 responses in this variable are country-specific and not included in the standard DHS modules, they are integrated in ANCPRIVMATERN_01 to increase comparability across samples.
