Description

For women who gave birth in the last five years, DELGN4_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported a technical health agent gave delivery care for a recent birth. This response category is country-specific to Guinea.

DELGN4_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (DELGN4_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., DELGN4_02, DELGN4_03, DELGN4_04, DELGN4_05, and DELGN4_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If DELGN4_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
