Description

Definition

MLSRCOTHERHH indicates whether the respondent for the household survey had recently seen or heard message(s) about malaria from some "other" source. The meaning of "other" depends on the particular sources of malaria information specified in a given survey.

The information in MLSRCOTHERHH 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.
