DELUMBTRTURM_ALL variables are 1-digit variables.
0 = No
1 = Yes
7 = Don't know
8 = Missing
9 = NIU (not in universe)
Description
DELUMBTRTURM_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, the respondent reported that turmeric was applied to the stump of her child's umbilical cord.
DELUMBTRTURM_ALL consists of a set of six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (DELUMBTRTURM_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., DELUMBTRTURM_02, DELUMBTRTURM_03, DELUMBTRTURM_04, DELUMBTRTURM_05, and DELUMBTRTURM_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If DELUMBTRTURM_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
For most surveys, this information was collected for only the most recent birth (DELUMBTRTURM_01). Surveys in which the data were collected for additional births are noted in the comparability section.

Comparability
Apart from universe differences and slight differences in question wording, DELUMBTRTURM_ALL is largely comparable across samples. See country-specific comparability for more information.
Comparability - Standard DHS
DELUMBTRTURM_ALL is not included in any phase of the standard DHS questionnaire, but it is part of a series in the standard newborn care module for Phase VII. DELUMBTRTURM_01 is a country-specific response.
