Description

Definition

For women who gave birth in the last five years, DELGN3_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported a health aid gave delivery care for a recent birth. This response category is country-specific to Guinea.

DELGN3_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (DELGN3_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., DELGN3_02, DELGN3_03, DELGN3_04, DELGN3_05, and DELGN3_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If DELGN3_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
