Definition
ANCAREML2 indicates whether some other nurse gave the child's mother antenatal care while the child was in utero. This response category is country-specific to Mali.
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.
ANCAREML2 is combined with ANCAREML1 (obstetrics nurse), and ANCAREML3 (midwife) for the 2006 Mali sample to create the standard variable ANCARENURM. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using ANCAREML2 are encouraged to review ANCARENURM for this more comprehensive response category.
