Description

Definition
MLSPREDRAINHH indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, the household survey respondent reported rain as a way to get malaria.

Because the information in MLSPREDRAINHH 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.
