Description

Definition
For women who gave birth in the last five years, DELPK2_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported a lady health visitor (LHV) gave delivery care for a recent birth. This response category is country-specific to Pakistan.

DELPK2_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (DELPK2_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., DELPK2_02, DELPK2_03, DELPK2_04, DELPK2_05, and DELPK2_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If DELPK2_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
