Description

Definition
For women who gave birth in the last five years, ANCARESN1_01 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported a nurse or an ICP ("infirmier chef de poste" or health post head nurse) gave antenatal care (for the last birth). This response category is country-specific to Senegal.

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.

ANCARESN1_01 is combined with ANCARESN2_01 (midwife) for the 2005, 2010, 2012, 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017 Senegal samples to make the standard variable ANCARENURM_01 (nurse/midwife). IPUMS-DHS users interested in using ANCARESN1_01 are encouraged to review ANCARENURM_01 for this more comprehensive response category.
