Description

Definition
BEDNETHAVE (V459) indicates whether the household had any bed nets that could be used while sleeping, to keep off mosquitoes and reduce the risk of mosquito-borne illnesses such as malaria. This information was collected via the household questionnaire and copied over to the woman's record.

The complementary variable BEDNETNUM (HML1) reports the number of mosquito nets owned by the household.
