Description

Definition
BEDNETHH (HV227) indicates whether the household has at least one mosquito bed net for use while household members are sleeping.

The information in BEDNETHH 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.
