Description

Definition
For women who gave birth in the last five years, DELCD1_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 the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

DELCD1_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (DELCD1_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., DELCD1_02, DELCD1_03, DELCD1_04, DELCD1_05, and DELCD1_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If DELCD1_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.

DELCD1_ALL is combined with DELCD2_ALL (midwife) for the 2007 and 2013 Democratic Republic of the Congo samples to create the standard variable DELNURM_ALL (nurse/midwife). IPUMS-DHS users interested in using DELCD1_ALL are encouraged to review DELNURM_ALL for this more comprehensive response category.
