Description

For women who gave birth in the last five years and who experienced delivery complications, ANSYMTRBA_ALL indicates whether the woman sought advice or treatment from a trained traditional birth attendant for pregnancy complications.

ANSYMTRBA_ALL consists of separate variables, covering the most recent birth (ANSYMTRBA_01) and, in some cases, additional births, up to, potentially, the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., ANSYMTRBA_02, ANSYMTRBA_03, ANSYMTRBA_04, ANSYMTRBA_05, and ANSYMTRBA_06).

Comparability

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

ANSYMTRBA_ALL is a country-specific variable, and is not included in any phase of the standard DHS questionnaire.
