Description
DELPROIND_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question about delivery complications, the woman reported experiencing an induced labor.
DELPROIND_ALL consists of a set of six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (DELPROIND_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., DELPROIND_02, DELPROIND_03, DELPROIND_04, DELPROIND_05, and DELPROIND_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If DELPROIND_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
