Description

MQUSESMOKE indicates whether the household uses a "smoke" to avoid mosquitoes.

The meaning of MQUSESMOKE may overlap with MQUSECOIL, which refers to burning incense (sometimes containing insecticide) to repel mosquitoes with scented smoke.

The information in MQUSESMOKE 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

Apart from slight differences in question wording, MQUSESMOKE is comparable across samples.
