Description

Definition

For women who gave birth in the last five years and who received antenatal care during their most recent pregnancy, ANCHOME_01 (M57A_1) indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported receiving care at their home.

IPUMS-DHS users interested in using ANCHOME_01 may also be interested in ANCHOMEOTH_01 (received antenatal care at some "other" home).
