Description

Definition
For women who gave birth in the last three to five years, PPVITA_ALL (M54_x) indicates whether they received a vitamin A dose in first 2 months after delivery.

PPVITA_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (PPVITA_01) up to, potentially, the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., PPVITA_02, PPVITA_03, PPVITA_04, PPVITA_05, and PPVITA_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If PPVITA_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.

For most surveys, this information was collected for only the most recent birth (PPVITA_01). Surveys in which the data were collected for additional births are noted in the comparability section.
