DELHMOTH_01
(M65X_1)
Why not deliver in health facility: Other reason (last birth)
Codes and Frequencies
Description
DELHMOTH_01 (M65X_1) indicates whether the respondent did not deliver her most recent child in a health facility for some "other" reason than those specified in a given survey. The interviewer recorded all reasons mentioned.
Comparability
Along with universe differences, the meaning of DELHMOTH_01 (M65X_1) is contextual, depending on the specific responses identified for a given survey. For example, in some samples, write-in responses about lack of time to reach a health facility were incorporated into a distinct variable (DELHMNOTIM_01); in other samples, that rationale was implicitly incorporated in this general "other reasons" variable.
Comparability - Standard DHS
DELHMOTH_01 (M65X_1) is a standard variable included in DHS model questionnaires from Phase 5 forward.
