Description

For women who gave birth in the last five years, DELPK2_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported a lady health visitor (LHV) gave delivery care for a recent birth. This response category is country-specific to Pakistan.

If DELPK2_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
