Description

Definition
For women who gave birth in the last five years, DELET5_01 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported a midwife gave delivery care (for the last birth). This response category is country-specific to Ethiopia.

Some samples in the "DEL" series include multiple categories that can be consolidated into a single broad response. IPUMS-DHS uses supplemental programming to combine these responses in a standard variable, while also preserving the separate responses in country-specific variables.

DELET5_01 is combined with DELET4_01 (nurse) for the 2016 Ethiopia sample to create the standard variable DELNURM_01 (nurse/midwife). IPUMS-DHS users interested in using DELET5_01 are encouraged to review DELNURM_01 for this more comprehensive response category.
