Description

Definition

For women who gave birth in the last three to five years, DELZW1_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported a traditional birth attendant with unknown training gave delivery care for a recent birth. This response category is country-specific to Zimbabwe.

DELZW1_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (DELZW1_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., DELZW1_02, DELZW1_03, DELZW1_04, DELZW1_05, and DELZW1_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If DELZW1_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
