Description

For women who gave birth in the last five years, DELGN5_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported that a community or village fieldworker gave delivery care for a recent birth. This response category is country-specific to Guinea.

DELGN5_ALL consists of a set of up to five separate variables, covering the most recent birth (DELGN5_01) up to the fifth-most-recent birth (i.e., DELGN5_02, DELGN5_03, DELGN5_04, and DELGN5_05) during the reference period prior to the survey. If DELGN5_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.

Comparability

DELGN5_ALL has no comparability problems.
