Definition
SPRAYEDOTH (HV253X) indicates whether the interior walls of the household dwelling were sprayed against mosquitoes by some other individual or organization in the past 12 months (or some other recent reference period; see Comparability). The meaning of "other" must be interpreted relative to the specific categories included in a particular sample.
The information in SPRAYEDOTH 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 when women, children, or births are the unit of analysis, and using the HHRESIDENT variable when household members are the unit of analysis.
