Description

For women who gave birth in the last five years, DELSZ2_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported a nursing assistant gave delivery care for a recent birth. This response category is country-specific to Eswatini/Swaziland.

DELSZ2_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (DELSZ2_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., DELSZ2_02, DELSZ2_03, DELSZ2_04, DELSZ2_05, and DELSZ2_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If DELSZ2_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.

Comparability

DELSZ2_ALL has no comparability problems.
