The DHS Program, which manages registration and access for IPUMS DHS, is again reviewing new user applications and requests for expanded access from currently approved users.
PPCHECK_ALL
(M62_X)
Woman's health checked before discharge after delivery
PPCHECK_ALL variables are one-digit variables.
Codes
0 = No
1 = Yes
7 = Don't know
8 = Missing
9 = NIU (not in universe)
Description
For women who gave birth in the 5 years before the survey and delivered their child at a health facility, PPCHECK_ALL (M62_x) indicates whether the woman received a postpartum health check before she was discharged from the facility.
PPCHECK_ALL consists of a set of six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (PPCHECK_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., PPCHECK_02, PPCHECK_03, PPCHECK_04, PPCHECK_05, and PPCHECK_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If PPCHECK_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
For surveys including this question, information for this variable was collected on all births, up to a maximum of six, in the reference period. In many cases, data were hypothetically collected on up to six births, but no women in the survey had so many births (e.g., no woman had 4 or more births in 3 years, or had 5 or 6 births in 5 years). If, for example, no woman in a survey had 6 births in five years and only blank values were included in the original DHS file, then PPCHECK_06 would not be available for that survey in IPUMS-DHS.
Comparability
Apart from universe differences and minor variation in question wording, PPCHECK_ALL (M62_x) has no comparability problems.
Comparability - Standard DHS
PPCHECK_ALL (M62_x) first appears in phase V of the standard DHS questionnaire and is consistent and included in all subsequent phases.
