Description

Definition
MLMEDSINHH indicates whether the household has any medicines for treating malaria in the house at the time of interview.

The information in MLMEDSINHH 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 (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.
