Description

Definition

For women who gave birth in the last 5 years and who received antenatal care during a pregnancy, ANCEG4_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported receiving such care at a public "rural health unit." This response category is country-specific to Egypt.

ANCEG4_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (ANCEG4_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., ANCEG4_02, ANCEG4_03, ANCEG4_04, ANCEG4_05, and ANCEG4_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If ANCEG4_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.

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.

ANCEG4_ALL is combined with ANCEG3_ALL (public urban health unit) in ANCPUBHC_01 (all public health centers) for the 2005, 2008, and 2014 Egypt samples. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using ANCEG4_ALL are encouraged to review ANCPUBHC_01 for a more comprehensive response category.
