Description

Definition
For women who gave birth in the last five years, DELMZ1_01 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported a nurse gave delivery care (for the last birth). 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.

DELMZ1_01 is combined with DELMZ2_01 (midwife) for the 2003 and 2011 Mozambique samples to create the standard variable DELNURM_01. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using DELMZ1_01 are encouraged to review DELNURM_01 for this more comprehensive response category.
