- MLPRESNET indicates whether the woman uses a mosquito net to prevent malaria.
- MLMQPNET indicates whether the woman uses a mosquito net to protect herself against mosquitoes.
- For women who did not report using a mosquito net to prevent malaria or to protect against mosquitoes, MLNETUSE indicates whether the woman uses a mosquito net.
