Description
DELPPCHKBHW_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, the woman reported she received a health check from a community or village health worker after delivering her child.
DELPPCHKBHW_ALL consists of a set of six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (DELPPCHKBHW_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., DELPPCHKBHW_02, DELPPCHKBHW_03, DELPPCHKBHW_04, DELPPCHKBHW_05, and DELPPCHKBHW_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If DELPPCHKBHW_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
