Description

For women who gave birth in the last five years, DELRW1_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported a nurse/medical assistant gave delivery care for a recent birth. This response category is country-specific to Rwanda.

DELRW1_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (DELRW1_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., DELRW1_02, DELRW1_03, DELRW1_04, DELRW1_05, and DELRW1_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If DELRW1_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.

DELRW1_ALL has no comparability problems.
