Description

For women who gave birth in the last 5 years and who received antenatal care during their most recent pregnancy, ANCZW1_01 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported receiving care at a public "central hospital." This response category is country-specific to Zimbabwe.

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.

ANCZW1_01 is combined with ANCZW2_01 (public provincial hospital), ANCZW3_01 (public district hospital), and ANCZW4_01 (public rural hospital) in ANCPUBHOS_01 (all public hospitals) for the 2010 and 2015 Zimbabwe samples. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using ANCZW1_01 are encouraged to review ANCPUBHOS_01 for a more comprehensive response category.

Comparability

ANCZW1_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 ANCZW1_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 ANCZW1_01 or the Comparability tab of ANCPUBHOS_01 for more information on the specific categories combined for Zimbabwe 2010 and 2015.
