Description
DELPROLARGE_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question about delivery complications, the woman reported giving birth to a very large child.
DELPROLARGE_ALL consists of a set of six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (DELPROLARGE_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., DELPROLARGE_02, DELPROLARGE_03, DELPROLARGE_04, DELPROLARGE_05, and DELPROLARGE_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If DELPROLARGE_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
