Description

Definition
For women who gave birth in the last five years, ANCAREBF2_01 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported that a midwife gave antenatal care (for the last birth). This response category is country-specific to Burkina Faso.

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.

ANCAREBF2_01 is combined with ANCAREBF1_01 (nurse) for the 1998 and 2010 Burkina Faso samples to make the standard variable ANCARENURM_01. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using ANCAREBF2_01 are encouraged to review ANCARENURM_01 for this more comprehensive response category.
