Description
SPRAYEDGOV (HV253A) indicates whether the interior walls of the household dwelling were sprayed against mosquitoes by a government worker or program in the past 12 months (or some other recent reference period; see Comparability).
The information in SPRAYEDGOV is taken from the household record and applies to regular household residents, not temporary visitors. Researchers may wish to exclude visitors using the RESIDENT variable when women, children, or births are the unit of analysis, and using the HHRESIDENT variable when household members are the unit of analysis.

Comparability — Uganda [top]
The 2016 Ugandan survey used a 6 month reference period, rather than 12 months, in the question wording. The 2011 Ugandan survey used the more common 12 month reference period.
