Dear RHS,

I have taken your advice and checked both the DHS Recode Manual and Egypt's EMW questionnaire. I have also checked the individual data file I have. However, in Egypt, I have noticed that antenatal and postnatal care variables are asked for all births, not only of the most recent birth. So, if 1 woman gave birth to 2 children in the last five years, I know how many ANC visits she had for each of her 2 children. Does I have to account for the ANC visits of her last birth only when I calculate the variable "ANC - at least 4 visits"? Or her ANC visits for both children?

Thanks.

Amira
