Description

For women who gave birth in the last five years, DELZW2_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported a nurse gave delivery care for a recent birth. This response category is country-specific to Zimbabwe.

DELZW2_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (DELZW2_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., DELZW2_02, DELZW2_03, DELZW2_04, DELZW2_05, and DELZW2_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If DELZW2_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.

DELZW2_ALL has no comparability problems.
