Comparability — Guinea [top]
The 1999 Guinea survey includes three separate questions about whether the woman uses a mosquito net. Users may wish to consolidate the responses to all three questions to create a variable indicating whether the woman uses a mosquito net for any reason.
- MLPRESNET indicates whether the woman uses a mosquito net to prevent malaria.
- MLMQPNET indicates whether the woman uses a mosquito net to protect herself against mosquitoes.
- For women who did not report using a mosquito net to prevent malaria or to protect against mosquitoes, MLNETUSE indicates whether the woman uses a mosquito net.
