Description
For women who gave birth in the last five years, DELSN3_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported a nurse/midwife/health agent gave delivery care. This response category is country-specific to Senegal.
DELSN3_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (DELSN3_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., DELSN3_02, DELSN3_03, DELSN3_04, DELSN3_05, and DELSN3_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If DELSN3_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
