Description

For women who gave birth in the last three to five years, DELBJ1_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported a community/village health worker gave delivery care for a recent birth. This response category is country-specific to Burkina Faso.

DELBJ1_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (DELBJ1_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., DELBJ1_02, DELBJ1_03, DELBJ1_04, DELBJ1_05, and DELBJ1_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If DELBJ1_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.

Comparability

Apart from universe differences, DELBJ1_ALL has no comparability problems.
