Description

Definition
For women who gave birth in the last five years, DELPK4_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported a nurse, midwife, or LHV (lady health visitor) gave delivery care for a recent birth. This response category is country-specific to Pakistan.

DELPK4_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (DELPK4_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., DELPK4_02, DELPK4_03, DELPK4_04, DELPK4_05, and DELPK4_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If DELPK4_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
