Hi Alex,

I think each country has its own definition of what a skilled birth attendant is (maybe someone from the DHS program can confirm this)... This means that the variables that make a skilled birth attendant are different across most countries (most of the time).

Therefore, you should always read the DHS final report of the country from which you wish to analyse data from.
