Description

Definition

For women who gave birth in the last five years, DELSN1_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported a nurse or an ICP ("infirmier chef de poste" or health post head nurse) gave delivery care. This response category is country-specific to Senegal.

DELSN1_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (DELSN1_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., DELSN1_02, DELSN1_03, DELSN1_04, DELSN1_05, and DELSN1_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If DELSN1_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.

DELSN1_ALL is combined with DELSN2_ALL (midwife) for the 2005, 2010, 2012, 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017 Senegal samples to create the standard variable DELNURM_ALL (nurse/midwife). IPUMS-DHS users interested in using DELSN1_ALL are encouraged to review DELNURM_ALL for this more comprehensive response category.
