Description

Definition

For women who gave birth in the five years before the survey and who received a health check after delivering their child, DELPPCHKBWHO_ALL (M52_X) reports who conducted the their postpartum health check (for a recent birth). Response categories vary across samples. See Comparability.

DELPPCHKBWHO_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (DELPPCHKBWHO_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., DELPPCHKBWHO_02, DELPPCHKBWHO_03, DELPPCHKBWHO_04, DELPPCHKBWHO_05, and DELPPCHKBWHO_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If DELPPCHKBWHO_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
