Definition
MLNTREATSOAKMO reports the average monthly interval between the times the household's mosquito net(s) were soaked in insecticide, from less than 1 month to more than 2 years.
The related variable MLNTREATNO reports the number of insecticide-treated mosquito nets in the household, while MLNTREATSOAK reports whether treated net(s) were soaked in a liquid to kill or repel mosquitoes.
The information in MLNTREATSOAKMO 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.
