Description

Definition
For women who gave birth in the last three to five years, DELBD5_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported a health assistant (HA) gave delivery care for a recent birth. This response category is country-specific to Bangladesh.

DELBD5_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (DELBD5_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., DELBD5_02, DELBD5_03, DELBD5_04, DELBD5_05, and DELBD5_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If DELBD5_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
