Description

Definition
For women who gave birth in the last five years, ANCAREBF1_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported a nurse gave antenatal care for a birth. This response category is country-specific to Burkina Faso.

ANCAREBF1_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (ANCAREBF1_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., ANCAREBF1_02, ANCAREBF1_03, ANCAREBF1_04, ANCAREBF1_05, and ANCAREBF1_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If ANCAREBF1_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.

Some samples in the "ANCARE" series include multiple categories that can be consolidated into a single broad response. IPUMS-DHS uses supplemental programming to combine these responses in a standard variable, while also preserving the separate responses in country-specific variables.

ANCAREBF1_ALL is combined with ANCAREBF2_ALL (midwife) for the 1998 and 2010 Burkina Faso samples to make the standard variable ANCARENURM_ALL. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using ANCAREBF1_ALL are encouraged to review ANCARENURM_ALL for this more comprehensive response category.
