Description

Definition

DELSECTOR_ALL indicates whether the respondent gave birth at a public or private health facility or at home.

DELSECTOR_ALL consists of a set of six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (DELSECTOR_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., DELSECTOR_02, DELSECTOR_03, DELSECTOR_04, DELSECTOR_05, and DELSECTOR_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If DELSECTOR_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.

For surveys including this question, information for this variable was collected on all births, up to a maximum of six, in the reference period. In many cases, data were hypothetically collected on up to six births, but no women in the survey had so many births (e.g., no woman had 4 or more births in 3 years, or had 5 or 6 births in 5 years). If, for example, no woman in a survey had 6 births in five years and only blank values were included in the original DHS file, then DELSECTOR_06 would not be available for that survey in IPUMS-DHS.
