Description

DELPPCHKBOTH_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, the woman reported she received a health check from some other person after delivering her child. The meaning of "other" must be interpreted relative to the specific categories included in a particular sample.

DELPPCHKBOTH_ALL consists of a set of six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (DELPPCHKBOTH_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., DELPPCHKBOTH_02, DELPPCHKBOTH_03, DELPPCHKBOTH_04, DELPPCHKBOTH_05, and DELPPCHKBOTH_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If DELPPCHKBOTH_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
