Description

Definition
For women who gave birth in the last five years, ANCAREMW1_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported that a clinical officer or medical assistant gave antenatal care for a birth. This response category is country-specific to Malawi.

ANCAREMW1_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (ANCAREMW1_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., ANCAREMW1_02, ANCAREMW1_03, ANCAREMW1_04, ANCAREMW1_05, and ANCAREMW1_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If ANCAREMW1_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
