Description

Definition

For women who gave birth in the last three to five years, DELBD1_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported a family welfare visitor gave delivery care for a recent birth. This response category is country-specific to Bangladesh.

DELBD1_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (DELBD1_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., DELBD1_02, DELBD1_03, DELBD1_04, DELBD1_05, and DELBD1_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If DELBD1_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
