Description

MLPREHDK indicates whether the household respondent does not know what the household is doing to avoid malaria.

Because the information in MLPREHDK 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

MLPREHDK has no comparability problems.

Comparability - Standard DHS

MLPREHDK is a country-specific variable, and it is not included in any phase of the standard DHS questionnaire.
