Description

ANSYMBD3_ALL indicates whether the woman sought advice or treatment from an unqualified doctor for pregnancy complications. This response category is country-specific to Bangladesh.

ANSYMBD3_ALL consists of separate variables, covering the most recent birth (ANSYMBD3_01) and, in some cases, additional births, up to, potentially, the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., ANSYMBD3_02, ANSYMBD3_03, ANSYMBD3_04, ANSYMBD3_05, and ANSYMBD3_06).

Comparability

Apart from universe differences, ANYSYMBD3_ALL is largely comparable across most samples. See comparability for more information.
