Definition
MLMSGPREVENT indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, the household respondent reported recently seeing or hearing a malaria prevention message about how to prevent the disease.
Because the information in MLMSGPREVENT 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.
