Description

Definition

SPRAYEDYNOT indicates the main reason the interior walls of the dwelling have not been sprayed against mosquitoes in the past 12 months.

Because the information in SPRAYEDYNOT 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.
