Description

DELCG5_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, the woman reported a spiritual doctor gave delivery care for a recent birth. This response category is country-specific to Congo Brazzaville.

If DELCG5_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
