Codes and Frequencies
Description
MLPREOTH indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, the woman reported some other way to avoid malaria. The meaning of "other" must be interpreted relative to the specific categories included in a particular sample.
Comparability
Apart from universe differences, the contextual meaning of "other," and slight differences in question wording, MLPREOTH is largely comparable across samples.
Comparability - Standard DHS
MLPREOTH is a country-specific variable, and it is not included in any phase of the standard DHS questionnaire.
