Description

Definition
For women who gave birth in the last five years, DELPK7_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported a hakim, an herbal medicine practitioner, gave delivery care for a recent birth. This response category is country-specific to Pakistan.

DELPK7_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (DELPK7_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., DELPK7_02, DELPK7_03, DELPK7_04, DELPK7_05, and DELPK7_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If DELPK7_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
