Description

DELPAYOTH_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, the female respondent reported paying for the out-of-pocket delivery expenses through some other method. The meaning of "other" must be interpreted relative to the specific categories included in a particular sample.

DELPAYOTH_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (DELPAYOTH_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., DELPAYOTH_02, DELPAYOTH_03, DELPAYOTH_04, DELPAYOTH_05, and DELPAYOTH_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If DELPAYOTH_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.

Comparability

Apart from universe differences and slight differences in question wording, DELPAYOTH_ALL has no comparability problems.
