Description

Definition
For women who gave birth in the last three to five years, DELNP4_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported a village health worker (VHW) gave delivery care for a recent birth. This response category is country-specific to Nepal.

DELNP4_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (DELNP4_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., DELNP4_02, DELNP4_03, DELNP4_04, DELNP4_05, and DELNP4_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If DELNP4_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
