Codes and Frequencies
Description
MLMSGPRENET indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, the household respondent reported recently seeing or hearing a malaria prevention message about sleeping under a mosquito net.
Because the information in MLMSGPRENET 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.

Comparability — Mali [top]
The 2021 Mali survey distinguished between the responses, "heard on TV", "heard on radio", and "heard on both TV and radio". All three responses have been harmonized into MLMSGPRENET.
