Description

Definition

MLHEHAHOHH indicates whether the respondent for the household survey had ever listened to the radio program "He Ha Ho" (short for "Healthy Happy Homes"). Begun in 2002, this radio program aims to improve the health of Ghanaian children by using a radio drama to communicate how to avoid and treat common childhood illnesses, especially malaria.

The information in MLHEHAHOHH is taken from the household record and applies to regular household residents, not temporary visitors. Researchers may wish to exclude visitors using the RESIDENT variable (with visitors coded "2") when women, children, or births are the unit of analysis, and using the HHRESIDENT variable when household members are the unit of analysis.
