Description

Definition

For women who gave birth in the 5 years before the survey, who delivered their child away from a health facility or did not receive a health check before being discharged from a health facility, and who received a health check later, DELPPCHKAWHO_ALL (M68_X) reports who conducted the respondent's postpartum health check (for a recent birth). Response categories vary across samples. See Comparability.

DELPPCHKAWHO_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (DELPPCHKAWHO_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., DELPPCHKAWHO_02, DELPPCHKAWHO_03, DELPPCHKAWHO_04, DELPPCHKAWHO_05, and DELPPCHKAWHO_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If DELPPCHKAWHO_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
