Description
DELDISPKIT_ALL indicates whether a disposable delivery kit was used for the child's delivery (for the last birth).
DELDISPKIT_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (DELDISPKIT_01) up to, potentially, the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., DELDISPKIT_02, DELDISPKIT_03, DELDISPKIT_04, DELDISPKIT_05, and DELDISPKIT_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If DELDISPKIT_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
For most surveys, this information was collected for only the most recent birth; exceptions are noted in the Comparability section.
