Description

Definition
For women who delivered in a health facility, BNOTIFHF_ALL indicates whether the health facility gave the mother a birth notification form or letter after the child was born.

BNOTIFHF_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (BNOTIFHF_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., BNOTIFHF_02, BNOTIFHF_03, BNOTIFHF_04, BNOTIFHF_05, and BNOTIFHF_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If BNOTIFHF_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.

Information for this variable was collected on all births, up to a maximum of six, in the reference period. In many cases, data were hypothetically collected on up to six births, but no women in the survey had so many births (e.g., no woman had 4 or more births in 3 years, or had 5 or 6 births in 5 years). If, for example, no woman in a survey had 6 births in five years and only blank values were included in the original DHS file, then BNOTIFHF_06 would not be available for that survey in IPUMS-DHS.
