Description

Definition
For children born in the five years before the survey, DELHMNOTIM indicates whether being unable to get to a health facility in time was a reason why the child was not delivered in a health facility. The interviewer recorded all reasons mentioned.

DELHMNOTIM was not represented by a standardized response category on the survey form, but rather was based on written-in responses next to the label "Other."
The interpretation of this variable may thus vary across samples; see Comparability.
