Description

Definition
For women who gave birth in the last five years, DELTZ2_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported a rural medical aide gave delivery care for a recent birth. This response category is country-specific to Tanzania.

DELTZ2_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (DELTZ2_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., DELTZ2_02, DELTZ2_03, DELTZ2_04, DELTZ2_05, and DELTZ2_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If DELTZ2_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
