Description

Definition

MLSRCHWHH indicates whether the respondent for the household survey had recently heard message(s) about malaria from a health worker. The question wording varied across surveys; see Comparability.

The information in MLSRCHWHH 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.
