Description

Definition
For women who had any pregnancies terminated through abortion, miscarriage or stillbirth prior to the survey's birth calendar, PRECALTERMCMC_ET (V242_ET) reports the century month date of the last pregnancy termination before the start of the birth calendar, according to the Ethiopian calendar. This variable is country-specific to Ethiopia.

For information on how to interpret and calculate century month dates, see DOBCMC.

On average, there is a seven to eight year gap between the Ethiopian and Gregorian calendars. For similar data for other countries using the Gregorian calendar, see PRECALTERMCMC.
