Comparability
Along with universe differences and slight differences in question wording, MLNETSRC differs across samples in the number of response categories.
To maximize comparability, IPUMS-DHS uses composite coding, with "Purchased" responses having a first digit of "1" and "Received from NGO or other organization" responses having a first digit of "2." The second digit distinguishes between locations to purchase a mosquito net (codes "11" through "14"), when this additional information is available.
Comparability - Standard DHS
MLNETSRC is a country-specific variable not included in any phase of the standard DHS questionnaire.
