Description

For women who gave birth in the last five years, DELLR1_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported a physician assistant gave delivery care. This response category is country-specific to Liberia.

If DELLR1_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
