Description

Definition
For women who gave birth in the last five years, DELLS3_01 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported a traditional healer gave delivery care. This response category is country-specific to Lesotho.

DELLS3_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (DELLS3_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., DELLS3_02, DELLS3_03, DELLS3_04, DELLS3_05, and DELLS3_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If DELLS3_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
