Description

Definition
For children born in the five years preceding the survey, DELCD2 indicates whether a midwife assisted with the child's delivery. This response category is country-specific to the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

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.

DELCD2 is combined with DELCD1 (midwife) for the 2007 and 2013 Democratic Republic of the Congo samples to create the standard variable DELNURM (nurse/midwife). IPUMS-DHS users interested in using DELCD2 are encouraged to review DELNURM for this more comprehensive response category.
