Description

Definition

For women who gave birth in the last five years, DELPK9_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported a community midwife (CMW) gave delivery care for a recent birth. This response category is country-specific to Pakistan.

DELPK9_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (DELPK9_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., DELPK9_02, DELPK9_03, DELPK9_04, DELPK9_05, and DELPK9_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If DELPK9_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
