Description

Definition
MLHOWTREATHH reports what the household survey respondent would do, including seeking care (from a health facility/health professional or a traditional healer), if he or she had malaria.

Because the information in MLHOWTREATHH 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.
