Description

For women who gave birth in the last five years, DELTG2_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported a community health worker gave delivery care for a recent birth. This response category is country-specific to Togo.

DELTG2_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (DELTG2_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., DELTG2_02, DELTG2_03, DELTG2_04, DELTG2_05, and DELTG2_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If DELTG2_ALL is included in the data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
