Description
For women who gave birth in the last five years, DELGH5_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported a community/village health volunteer gave delivery care for a recent birth. This response category is country-specific to Ghana.
DELGH5_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (DELGH5_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., DELGH5_02, DELGH5_03, DELGH5_04, DELGH5_05, and DELGH5_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If DELGH5_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.

- Ghana 2014: Women age 15-49 who gave birth in the 5 years before the survey.
