Description
For women who gave birth in the last five years, DELNG1_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported a nurse/midwife/community health officer gave delivery care for a recent birth. This response category is country-specific to Nigeria.
DELNG1_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (DELNG1_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., DELNG1_02, DELNG1_03, DELNG1_04, DELNG1_05, and DELNG1_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If DELNG1_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
Universe
- Nigeria 1990: Women age 15-49 who gave birth in the 5 years before the survey.
