DELFPADV_ALL variables are 1-digit variables.
0 = No
1 = Yes
8 = Missing
9 = NIU (not in universe)
Description
DELFPADV_ALL indicates whether anyone in the health facility talked with the respondent about family planning after delivery.
DELFPADV_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (DELFPADV_01) up to, potentially, the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., DELFPADV_02, DELFPADV_03, DELFPADV_04, DELFPADV_05, and DELFPADV_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If DELFPADV_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
In many cases, data were hypothetically collected on up to six births, but no women in the survey had so many births (e.g., no woman had 4 or more births in 3 years, or had 5 or 6 births in 5 years). If, for example, no woman in a survey had 6 births in five years and only blank values were included in the original DHS file, then DELFPADV_06 would not be available for that survey in IPUMS-DHS.

Comparability
Apart from universe differences and slight differences in question wording, DELFPADV_ALL is largely comparable across samples.
Comparability - Standard DHS
DELFPADV_ALL is a country-specific variable, and it is not included in any phase of the standard DHS questionnaire.
Comparability — Jordan [top]
The 2002 and 2012 Jordan samples collected this information for the most recent birth only. The 2007 Jordan survey collected this information for additional births.
Comparability — Pakistan [top]
The 2017 Pakistan sample collected this information for the most recent birth only.
