Description
For women who gave birth in the last five years, DELBF6_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported a maternity employee gave delivery care for a recent birth. This response category is country-specific to Burkina Faso.
DELBF6_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (DELBF6_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., DELBF6_02, DELBF6_03, DELBF6_04, DELBF6_05, and DELBF6_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If DELBF6_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
