Description

ANSYMBD5_ALL indicates whether the woman sought advice or treatment from a nurse, midwife, or paramedic for pregnancy complications. This response category is country-specific to Bangladesh.

ANSYMBD5_ALL consists of separate variables, covering the most recent birth (ANSYMBD5_01) and, in some cases, additional births, up to, potentially, the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., ANSYMBD5_02, ANSYMBD5_03, ANSYMBD5_04, ANSYMBD5_05, and ANSYMBD5_06).

ANSYMBD5_ALL is largely comparable across most samples. See comparability for more information.
