Description

Definition
DOORSCREENYN indicates whether the household's dwelling has doors with some barrier (screens or curtains or grid) to prevent mosquitos from entering.

The information in DOORSCREENYN 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.
