Percent distribution of mosquito nets by source of net for ITNs (hml10_1 – hlm10_7 = 1), non-ITNs (hml10_1 – hlm10_7 ≠ 1), and all nets.
Coverage:
Population base: Mosquito nets owned by surveyed households (HR file)
Time period: Current status at time of survey
Numerator: Number of mosquito nets (treated or untreated) from each source owned by surveyed households (hml22_1 – hml22_7 = 1,2,3 or hml23_1 – hml23_7 = 11-19,21-29,31-35,96, )
Denominator: Number of mosquito nets owned by surveyed households (hmlidx1 – hmlidx_7 > 0)
Variables: HR file.

Numerator divided by the denominator, multiplied by 100.
Nets with missing information on source are included as “don’t know.”
Data are stratified by type of net: ITN and non-ITN. See Changes over Time for this chapter details about the term ITN. An insecticide-treated net (ITN) is a factory-treated net that does not require any further treatment. Prior to 2018, this was known as a long-lasting insecticidal net (LLIN). Some surveys collect information on more than 7 nets. Please check variables hmlidx_#, hml10_#, hml22_#, and hml23_#.
Nets obtained from a mass distribution campaign, ANC visit, immunization visit, or government health facility are assumed to be ITNs and coded as such.
