Description

For women who gave birth in the last 5 years and who received antenatal care during their most recent pregnancy, ANCTZ1_01 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported receiving care at a public "referral/specialist hospital." This response category is country-specific to Tanzania.

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.

ANCTZ1_01 is combined with ANCTZ2_01 (public regional hospital) and ANCTZ3_01 (public district hospital) in ANCPUBHOS_01 (all public hospitals) for the 2004 and 2010 Tanzania samples.

Additionally, ANCTZ1_01 is combined with ANCTZ2_01, ANCTZ3_01, and ANCTZ4_01 (public regional referral hospital) in ANCPUBHOS_01 for the 2015 Tanzania sample.

IPUMS-DHS users interested in using ANCTZ1_01 are encouraged to review ANCPUBHOS_01 for a more comprehensive response category.

Comparability

ANCTZ1_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 ANCTZ1_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 ANCTZ1_01 or the Comparability tab of ANCPUBHOS_01 for more information on the specific categories combined for Tanzania 2004, 2010 and 2015.
