Description

Definition
For women who gave birth in the last five years, DELMM1_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported a nurse, midwife, or LHV (lady health visitor) gave delivery care for a recent birth. This response category is country-specific to Myanmar.

DELMM1_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (DELMM1_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., DELMM1_02, DELMM1_03, DELMM1_04, DELMM1_05, and DELMM1_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If DELMM1_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
