Description

Definition

For children born in the five years preceding the survey, DELMZ2 indicates whether a midwife assisted with the child's delivery. This response category is country-specific to Mozambique.

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.

DELMZ2 is combined with DELMZ1 (nurse) for the 2003 and 2011 Mozambique samples to create the standard variable DELNURM. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using DELMZ2 are encouraged to review DELNURM for this more comprehensive response category.
