Description
For women who gave birth in the last five years, DELMW2_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported a doctor/clinical officer gave delivery care for a recent birth. This response category is country-specific to Malawi.
DELMW2_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (DELMW2_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., DELMW2_02, DELMW2_03, DELMW2_04, DELMW2_05, and DELMW2_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If DELMW2_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
