Description

For women who gave birth in the last five years, DELTD4_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported a traditional healer gave delivery care. This response category is country-specific to Chad.

DELTD4_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (DELTD4_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., DELTD4_02, DELTD4_03, DELTD4_04, DELTD4_05, and DELTD4_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If DELTD4_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
