Description

Definition

DELUMBTROIL_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, the respondent reported that oil was applied to the stump of her child's umbilical cord.

DELUMBTROIL_ALL consists of a set of six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (DELUMBTROIL_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., DELUMBTROIL_02, DELUMBTROIL_03, DELUMBTROIL_04, DELUMBTROIL_05, and DELUMBTROIL_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If DELUMBTROIL_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.

For most surveys, this information was collected for only the most recent birth (DELUMBTROIL_01). Surveys in which the data were collected for additional births are noted in the comparability section.
