Description
Definition
For children born in the three to five years before the survey, DELHMWHY reports the main reason why the child was delivered at home or not at a health facility.
DELHMWHY differs in structure from the standard DHS variables on why the child was not delivered in a health facility. For most such variables, the interviewer asked the mother an open-ended question, "Why didn't you deliver in a health facility? Any other reason?" and recorded all responses, which were then turned into non-mutually exclusive dichotomous variables. By contrast, DELHMWHY required the respondent to state the main reason why she delivered the child at home and recorded a single response.
