Description

For women who gave birth in the last five years, DELZM1_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported a clinical officer gave delivery care for a recent birth. This response category is country-specific to Zambia.

DELZM1_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (DELZM1_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., DELZM1_02, DELZM1_03, DELZM1_04, DELZM1_05, and DELZM1_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If DELZM1_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
