Description

Definition
For women who gave birth in the last five years, DELKE1_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported a community health worker gave delivery care for a recent birth. This response category is country-specific to Kenya.

DELKE1_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (DELKE1_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., DELKE1_02, DELKE1_03, DELKE1_04, DELKE1_05, and DELKE1_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If DELKE1_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
