Description
For women who gave birth in the last three to five years, DELBD3_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported a nurse/midwife/paramedic gave delivery care for a recent birth. This response category is country-specific to Bangladesh.
DELBD3_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (DELBD3_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., DELBD3_02, DELBD3_03, DELBD3_04, DELBD3_05, and DELBD3_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If DELBD3_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
