Description

For women who gave birth in the last five years, DELRW6_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported their mother-in-law gave delivery care for a recent birth. This response category is country-specific to Rwanda.

DELRW6_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (DELRW6_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., DELRW6_02, DELRW6_03, DELRW6_04, DELRW6_05, and DELRW6_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If DELRW6_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.

Comparability

DELRW6_ALL has no comparability problems.
