Description

MLNETSRC reports where the respondent acquired her mosquito net.

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.
