Definition
MLMSGPREOTH indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, the household respondent reported recently seeing or hearing some other message about malaria prevention. The meaning of "other" must be interpreted relative to the specific response categories included in a particular sample.
Because the information in MLMSGPREOTH 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.
