Description

Definition

For women who gave birth in the last three to five years, ANCAREGH1_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported that a nurse gave antenatal care for a birth. This response category is country-specific to Ghana.

ANCAREGH1_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (ANCAREGH1_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., ANCAREGH1_02, ANCAREGH1_03, ANCAREGH1_04, ANCAREGH1_05, and ANCAREGH1_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If ANCAREGH1_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.

ANCAREGH1_ALL is combined with ANCAREGH2_ALL (midwife) for the 1993 and 1998 Ghana samples to make the standard variable ANCARENURM_ALL. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using ANCAREGH1_ALL are encouraged to review ANCARENURM_ALL for this more comprehensive response category.
