Description

For women who gave birth in the last five years, DELET7_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 Ethiopia.

DELET7_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (DELET7_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., DELET7_02, DELET7_03, DELET7_04, DELET7_05, and DELET7_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If DELET7_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
