Description
DELPPCHKANO_ALL reports the number of times the respondent received a postpartum health check sometime after the delivery of her last-born child.
DELPPCHKANO_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (DELPPCHKANO_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., DELPPCHKANO_02, DELPPCHKANO_03, DELPPCHKANO_04, DELPPCHKANO_05, and DELPPCHKANO_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If DELPPCHKANO_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
