Description
For women who gave birth in the last five years, DELTZ6_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported a village health worker gave delivery care for a recent birth. This response category is country-specific to Tanzania.
DELTZ6_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (DELTZ6_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., DELTZ6_02, DELTZ6_03, DELTZ6_04, DELTZ6_05, and DELTZ6_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If DELTZ6_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
