Description

Definition
For women who gave birth in the last 5 years and who received antenatal care during their most recent pregnancy, ANCMW2_01 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported receiving care at a religious health center. This response category is country-specific to Malawi.

Some samples in the "ANC" series include categories that can be consolidated into a single response. IPUMS-DHS uses supplemental programming to combine these responses in a standard variable while preserving the separate responses in country-specific variables.

ANCMW2_01 is combined with ANCMW1_01 (religious hospital) in ANCPRIVMIS_01 (all faith-based facilities) for the 2004, 2010, and 2016 Malawi samples. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using ANCMW2_01 are encouraged to review ANCPRIVMIS_01 for a more comprehensive response category.
