Description
For women who gave birth in the last five years, DELYE1_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported a traditional birth attendant or grandmother gave delivery care for a recent birth. This response category is country-specific to Yemen.
DELYE1_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (DELYE1_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., DELYE1_02, DELYE1_03, DELYE1_04, DELYE1_05, and DELYE1_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If DELYE1_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
Universe
- Yemen 2013: Women age 15-49 who have ever been married and who gave birth in the 5 years before the survey.
