Definition
For children whose mothers received antenatal care, ANCBD4 indicates whether they received care from a private "qualified doctor." This response category is country-specific to Bangladesh.
Some samples in the "ANC" series include categories that can be consolidated into a single response. IPUMS-DHS uses supplemental programming to combine these responses in a standard variable while preserving the separate responses in country-specific variables.
ANCBD4 is combined with ANCBD5 (private "unqualified doctor") in ANCPRIVDR (all private doctors) for the 2007, 2011, and 2014 Bangladesh samples. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using ANCBD4 are encouraged to review ANCPRIVDR for a more comprehensive response category.
