Description

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.

Comparability

Along with universe differences, DOORSCREENYN varies across samples in question wording, in terms of the type of barrier to mosquitoes referred to.

Comparability - Standard DHS

DOORSCREENYN is a country-specific variable not included in the standard DHS household questionnaire.
