Description

Definition
MQUSEMEMB indicates whether the household uses "membrane(s)" to avoid mosquitoes. The survey wording does not specify whether the membrane serves as a barrier to mosquitoes or as a vehicle for delivering repellent insecticide.

The information in MQUSEMEMB 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.
