PNBABCKWHO_ALL
(M72_X)
Who performed newborn's postnatal check
Description
For women who gave birth in the five years before the survey, and whose child had a health check within two months of delivery, PNBABCKWHO_ALL (M72_X) reports who conducted the child's postpartum health check (for a recent birth). Response categories vary across samples. See Comparability.
PNBABCKWHO_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (PNBABCKWHO_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., PNBABCKWHO_02, PNBABCKWHO_03, PNBABCKWHO_04, PNBABCKWHO_05, and PNBABCKWHO_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If PNBABCKWHO_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.

Comparability
Along with universe differences, the response categories for PNBABCKWHO_ALL vary across samples.
The harmonized coding categories in the IPUMS-DHS variable PNBABCKWHO_ALL were constructed to reflect the major and minor categories in the original DHS variable (M72_X). The major categories are:
- 1000: Health professionals
- 2000: Other person
The second, third, and fourth digits of PNBABCKWHO_ALL's codes distinguish between specific locations and provide detail present in only some samples.
When response categories include non-standard groupings, IPUMS-DHS codes those groupings as a sub-category under the most qualified of the group (e.g., "Doctor/clinical officer" (code "1130") is a sub-category of "Doctor" (code "1100")).
Surveys that collected information on who gave the health check for more than just the most recent birth are noted below.
