Description

Definition
For women who gave birth in the last five years, DELBF1_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported a nurse gave delivery care for a recent birth. This response category is country-specific to Burkina Faso.

DELBF1_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (DELBF1_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., DELBF1_02, DELBF1_03, DELBF1_04, DELBF1_05, and DELBF1_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If DELBF1_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.

Some samples in the "DEL" series include multiple categories that can be consolidated into a single broad response. IPUMS-DHS uses supplemental programming to combine these responses in a standard variable, while also preserving the separate responses in country-specific variables.

DELBF1_ALL is combined with DELBF2_ALL (midwife) for the 2010 Burkina Faso sample to create the standard variable DELNURM_ALL. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using DELBF1_ALL are encouraged to review DELNURM_ALL for this more comprehensive response category.
