Description

Definition

For women who gave birth in the last three to five years, DELMA2_01 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported a midwife gave delivery care (for the last birth). This response category is country-specific to Morocco.

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.

DELMA2_01 is combined with DELMA1_01 (nurse) for the 1992 Morocco sample to create the standard variable DELNURM_01 (nurse/midwife). IPUMS-DHS users interested in using DELMA2_01 are encouraged to review DELNURM_01 for this more comprehensive response category.
