Description
For women who gave birth in the five years before the survey and who received a health check after delivering their child, DELPPCHKBLOC_ALL (M53_X) reports where the respondent's postpartum health check took place (for a recent birth). Response categories vary across samples. See Comparability.
DELPPCHKBLOC_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (DELPPCHKBLOC_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., DELPPCHKBLOC_02, DELPPCHKBLOC_03, DELPPCHKBLOC_04, DELPPCHKBLOC_05, and DELPPCHKBLOC_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If DELPPCHKBLOC_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.

Comparability
Along with universe differences, the response categories for DELPPCHKBLOC_ALL vary across samples.
The harmonized coding categories in the IPUMS-DHS variable DELPPCHKBLOC_ALL were constructed to reflect the major and minor categories in the original DHS variable (M53_X). The major categories are:
- 1000: Home
- 2000: Public sector facilities
- 3000: Private medical sector facilities
- 4000: Non-governmental organizations (NGOs)
- 5000: Religious/mission facilities
The second, third, and fourth digits of DELPPCHKBLOC_ALL's codes distinguish between specific locations and provide detail present in only some samples.
Surveys that collected information on who gave the health check for more than just the most recent birth are noted below.
