Description
DELPROMULT_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question about delivery complications, the woman reported experiencing multiple births.
DELPROMULT_ALL consists of a set of six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (DELPROMULT_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., DELPROMULT_02, DELPROMULT_03, DELPROMULT_04, DELPROMULT_05, and DELPROMULT_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If DELPROMULT_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
