Description

Definition
DELUMBTRDUNG_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, the respondent reported that animal dung was applied to the stump of her child's umbilical cord.

DELUMBTRDUNG_ALL consists of a set of six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (DELUMBTRDUNG_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., DELUMBTRDUNG_02, DELUMBTRDUNG_03, DELUMBTRDUNG_04, DELUMBTRDUNG_05, and DELUMBTRDUNG_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If DELUMBTRDUNG_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.

For most surveys, this information was collected for only the most recent birth (DELUMBTRDUNG_01). Surveys in which the data were collected for additional births are noted in the comparability section.
