Description

Definition

For women who gave birth in the five years before the survey, and whose child had a health check within two months of delivery, PNBABCKWHO_ALL (M72_X) reports who conducted the child's postpartum health check (for a recent birth). Response categories vary across samples. See Comparability.

PNBABCKWHO_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (PNBABCKWHO_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., PNBABCKWHO_02, PNBABCKWHO_03, PNBABCKWHO_04, PNBABCKWHO_05, and PNBABCKWHO_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If PNBABCKWHO_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
