Description
ANREGISTER_ALL indicates whether the female respondent registered her pregnancy.
ANREGISTER_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (ANREGISTER_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., ANREGISTER_02, ANREGISTER_03, ANREGISTER_04, ANREGISTER_05, and ANREGISTER_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If ANREGISTER_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
