Description
For women who gave birth in the last five years, DELCD4_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 the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
DELCD4_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (DELCD4_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., DELCD4_02, DELCD4_03, DELCD4_04, DELCD4_05, and DELCD4_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If DELCD4_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
