Description

Definition
MLNETSHELP indicates whether the respondent for the household survey thinks that use of insecticide-treated (bed)nets reduces the incidence of malaria.

The information in MLNETSHELP 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.
