Description

For women who gave birth in the last five years, DELPK5_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported a lady health worker (LHW) gave delivery care for a recent birth. This response category is country-specific to Pakistan.

DELPK5_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (DELPK5_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., DELPK5_02, DELPK5_03, DELPK5_04, DELPK5_05, and DELPK5_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If DELPK5_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
