Description
DELPROMAL_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question about delivery complications, the woman reported having malaria during delivery.
DELPROMAL_ALL consists of a set of six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (DELPROMAL_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., DELPROMAL_02, DELPROMAL_03, DELPROMAL_04, DELPROMAL_05, and DELPROMAL_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If DELPROMAL_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
