Description

For women who gave birth in the last five years, DELTZ7_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported an assistant nurse gave delivery care for a recent birth. This response category is country-specific to Tanzania.

DELTZ7_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (DELTZ7_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., DELTZ7_02, DELTZ7_03, DELTZ7_04, DELTZ7_05, and DELTZ7_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If DELTZ7_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.

DELTZ7_ALL has no comparability problems.
