Description

Definition
For women who gave birth in the last three to five years, DELIA2_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported an ANM (auxiliary nurse/midwife), nurse/midwife/LHV (Lady Health Visitor) gave delivery care for a recent birth. This response category is country-specific to India.

DELIA2_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (DELIA2_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., DELIA2_02, DELIA2_03, DELIA2_04, DELIA2_05, and DELIA2_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If DELIA2_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
