DELPPCHKBNURM_ALL variables are 1-digit variables.
0 = No
1 = Yes
7 = Don't know
8 = Missing
9 = NIU (not in universe)
Description
DELPPCHKBNURM_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, the woman reported she received a health check from a nurse or midwife after delivering her child.
DELPPCHKBNURM_ALL consists of a set of six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (DELPPCHKBNURM_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., DELPPCHKBNURM_02, DELPPCHKBNURM_03, DELPPCHKBNURM_04, DELPPCHKBNURM_05, and DELPPCHKBNURM_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If DELPPCHKBNURM_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, DELPPCHKBNURM_ALL is largely comparable across samples.
Comparability - Standard DHS
DELPPCHKBNURM_ALL is a country-specific variable, and it is not included in any phase of the standard DHS questionnaire.
Comparability — Bangladesh [top]
The 2007 Bangladesh survey includes "Nurse/midwife/paramedic" as a response category.
Comparability — Chad [top]
The 2004 Chad survey include separate categories for "nurse" and "midwife." Because DELPPCHKBNURM_ALL focuses on the combined category of nurse/midwife, these two responses are consolidated in this variable to create a more comprehensive response category. For researchers interested in preserving these country-specific categories:
- Nurse is listed as DELPPCHKBTD1_01 in IPUMS-DHS
- Midwife is listed as DELPPCHKBTD2_01 in IPUMS-DHS
Comparability — Nepal [top]
The 1996 Nepal survey includes "Nurse/ANM [auxiliary nurse midwife]" as a response category. The 1996 Nepal survey asks whether the child's mother received a health check within 24 hours after delivering the child.
