Description

For women who gave birth in the last three to five years, DELML5_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported a health aid gave delivery care for a recent birth. This response category is country-specific to Mali.

DELML5_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (DELML5_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., DELML5_02, DELML5_03, DELML5_04, DELML5_05, and DELML5_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If DELML5_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.

Comparability

Apart from universe differences, DELML5_ALL has no comparability problems.
