Description

Definition
For women who gave birth in the last five years, DELMW3_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported a ward/patient attendant gave delivery care for a recent birth. This response category is country-specific to Malawi.

DELMW3_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (DELMW3_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., DELMW3_02, DELMW3_03, DELMW3_04, DELMW3_05, and DELMW3_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If DELMW3_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
