Description

For women who gave birth in the last five years, DELBF3_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported a traditional healer gave delivery care for a recent birth. This response category is country-specific to Burkina Faso.

DELBF3_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (DELBF3_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., DELBF3_02, DELBF3_03, DELBF3_04, DELBF3_05, and DELBF3_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If DELBF3_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
