1 = Yes
7 = Don't know
8 = Missing
9 = NIU (not in universe)

Description

DELUMBTRVERM_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, the respondent reported that vermilion was applied to the stump of her child's umbilical cord.

DELUMBTRVERM_ALL consists of a set of six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (DELUMBTRVERM_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., DELUMBTRVERM_02, DELUMBTRVERM_03, DELUMBTRVERM_04, DELUMBTRVERM_05, and DELUMBTRVERM_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If DELUMBTRVERM_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 (DELUMBTRVERM_01). Surveys in which the data were collected for additional births are noted in the comparability section.
