Description

Definition

For children born in the five years preceding the survey, DELET5 indicates whether a midwife assisted with the child's delivery. This response category is country-specific to Ethiopia.

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.

DELET5 is combined with DELET4 (nurse) for the 2016 Ethiopia sample to create the standard variable DELNURM (nurse/midwife). IPUMS-DHS users interested in using DELET5 are encouraged to review DELNURM for this more comprehensive response category.
