Description

Definition
ANCAREGN1 indicates whether a nurse gave the child's mother antenatal care while the child was in utero. This response category is country-specific to Guinea.

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.

ANCAREGN1 is combined with ANCAREGN2 (midwife) for the 1999, 2005, and 2012 Guinea samples to create the standard variable ANCARENURM. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using ANCAREGN1 are encouraged to review ANCARENURM for this more comprehensive response category.
