Description

Definition
For children born in the three to five years preceding the survey, DELSN2 indicates whether a midwife assisted with the child's delivery. This response category is country-specific to Senegal.

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.

DELSN2 is combined with DELSN1 (nurse) for the 2005, 2010, 2012, 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017 Senegal samples to create the standard variable DELNURM (nurse/midwife). IPUMS-DHS users interested in using DELSN2 are encouraged to review DELNURM for a more comprehensive response category.
