Description

Definition
MLKNOWHH indicates whether the respondent for the household questionnaire has ever heard of malaria.

The related variable MLKNOW indicates whether a respondent to the individual woman's survey has ever heard of malaria.

Because the information in MLKNOWHH 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.
