Description
For women who gave birth in the last three to five years, DELBD7_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported a community skilled birth attendant gave delivery care. This response category is country-specific to Bangladesh.
DELBD7_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (DELBD7_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., DELBD7_02, DELBD7_03, DELBD7_04, DELBD7_05, and DELBD7_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If DELBD7_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
