Description

For women who gave birth in the last five years, DELYE1_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported a traditional birth attendant or grandmother gave delivery care for a recent birth. This response category is country-specific to Yemen.

If DELYE1_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
