Description

For women who gave birth in the last five years, DELET1_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported a health professional gave delivery care for a recent birth. This response category is country-specific to Ethiopia.

DELET1_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (DELET1_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., DELET1_02, DELET1_03, DELET1_04, DELET1_05, and DELET1_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If DELET1_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.

DELET1_ALL has no comparability problems.
