Description

Definition
For women who gave birth in the five years before the survey and who received a health check after delivering their child, DELPPCHKBLOC_ALL (M53_X) reports where the respondent's postpartum health check took place (for a recent birth). Response categories vary across samples. See Comparability.

DELPPCHKBLOC_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (DELPPCHKBLOC_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., DELPPCHKBLOC_02, DELPPCHKBLOC_03, DELPPCHKBLOC_04, DELPPCHKBLOC_05, and DELPPCHKBLOC_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If DELPPCHKBLOC_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
