Description

For women who gave birth in the last five years, DELTZ1_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported a doctor/medical assistant/assistant medical officer gave delivery care for a recent birth. This response category is country-specific to Tanzania.

DELTZ1_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (DELTZ1_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., DELTZ1_02, DELTZ1_03, DELTZ1_04, DELTZ1_05, and DELTZ1_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If DELTZ1_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
