Description

Definition
For respondents in households with at least one mosquito net treated with insecticide, MLNTREATSOAK reports the answer to a question about whether the treated net was usually soaked in a liquid that kills or repels mosquitoes.

The related variable MLNTREATNO reports the number of insecticide-treated mosquito nets in the household.

The information in MLNTREATSOAK 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.
