Description

Definition

For women who gave birth in the last five years, DELMZ2_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported a midwife gave delivery care for a recent birth. This response category is country-specific to Mozambique.

DELMZ2_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (DELMZ2_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., DELMZ2_02, DELMZ2_03, DELMZ2_04, DELMZ2_05, and DELMZ2_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If DELMZ2_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.

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_ALL is combined with DELMZ1_ALL (nurse) for the 2003 and 2011 Mozambique samples to create the standard variable DELNURM_ALL. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using DELMZ2_ALL are encouraged to review DELNURM_ALL for this more comprehensive response category.
