Description

Definition

MLPREHREPEL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, the household respondent reported using mosquito repellent as a way the household is avoiding malaria.

Because the information in MLPREHREPEL is taken from the household record, it 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.
