Description
For women who gave birth in the last three years, DELBD9_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported a community health care provider gave delivery care for a recent birth. This response category is country-specific to Bangladesh.
DELBD9_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (DELBD9_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., DELBD9_02, DELBD9_03, DELBD9_04, DELBD9_05, and DELBD9_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If DELBD9_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
