Description

Definition

For women who gave birth in the last three to five years, DELML1_01 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported an obstetrics nurse gave delivery care (for the last birth). This response category is country-specific to Mali.

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.

DELML1_01 is combined with DELML2_01 (other nurse) and DELML3_01 (midwife) for the 2006 Mali sample to create the standard variable DELNURM_01. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using DELML1_01 are encouraged to review DELNURM_01 for this more comprehensive response category.
