Description

For women who gave birth in the last five years, DELET3_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported some other health personnel gave delivery care for a recent birth. This response category is country-specific to Ethiopia.

DELET3_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (DELET3_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., DELET3_02, DELET3_03, DELET3_04, DELET3_05, and DELET3_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If DELET3_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.

Comparability

DELET3_ALL has no comparability problems.
