'SECTION 4. PREGNANCY AND POSTNATAL CARE' of the DHS-8 women questionnaire includes only women with a history of 'ONE OR MORE PREGNANCY OUTCOMES 0-35 MONTHS BEFORE THE SURVEY'. On the other hand, the ANC indicator definition states 'Percentage of women with a birth in the last 5 years..." (page 335 of the guide).
Here are my queries:
1. By 'ONE OR MORE PREGNANCY OUTCOMES', does it mean that women who are pregnant at the time of the survey but of no previous birth/pregnancy history won't be included in the 'SECTION 4. PREGNANCY AND POSTNATAL CARE'
2. How could the 2 ANC periods (0-35 months in the questionnaire and 0-59 months/last 5 years in the guide) be reconciled?
3. What is the appropriate time to be covered by the ANC indicator?
4. Could both dejure and defacto women be included in the ANC indicator?
