Description
ANKNOWTEST_ALL indicates whether the female respondent used a pregnancy test to confirm her pregnancy.
ANKNOWTEST_ALL consists of separate variables, covering the most recent birth (ANKNOWTEST_01) and, in some cases, additional births, potentially up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., ANKNOWTEST_02, ANKNOWTEST_03, ANKNOWTEST_04, ANKNOWTEST_05, and ANKNOWTEST_06). For most surveys, this information was collected for only the most recent birth; exceptions are noted in the comparability section.
