Description

For women who gave birth in the last five years, DELTD4_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported a traditional healer gave delivery care. This response category is country-specific to Chad.

If DELTD4_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
