Dear,
We are now analyzing the India 2015 survey and the variables that indicate if the individual slept under a mosquito net in the last night are intriguing. All variables (ml10 in the KR dataset, ml101, ml0_* and v461 in the IR dataset) are indicating that no one slept under a mosquito net. Is this correct?
Thank you,

Following is a response from Senior Data Processing Specialist, Mianmian Yu:
The definition of ITN went through plenty of revisions when the survey was carried out, and the survey actually collected information on LLIN instead of ITN. Partly for this reason, the existing version of data files have had HML10 as not applicable, which then made HML12 as not applicable. We have decided to populate HML10, and HML12 will be updated accordingly. A new version of the data files will be released soon. Meanwhile, we suggest data users to use HML6 for analyses on ITN. This variable's first category "pretreated, permanent treatment" refers to ITN/LLIN.
As for the total number of persons in HML19, please note that the survey collected net use related information for up to four household members ( Page 14 of Household Questionnaire), which are only a subset of listed household members.

Dear,
We have just analyzed the data from the latest release of the India datasets (73), and we are still having trouble with the inseticide treated net variables.
All variables related to malaria (ml*) have information for 350,797 individuals in the PR dataset, however 1,094,964 have a mosquito net in the household.
For example, all individuals that have information for hv227 (has mosquito net) should also have information on hml1 (number of mosquito nets). However, there is 957,070 individuals that reported they have mosquito nets but info on hml1 (and all other hml variables) is missing:
. use "IAPR73FL.DTA" ,clear
. ta hml1 hv227, m
number of | has mosquito bed net
mosquito | for sleeping
bed nets | no yes | Total
-----------+----------------------+----------
0 | 212,903 0 | 212,903
1 | 0 38,531 | 38,531
2 | 0 43,760 | 43,760
3 | 0 26,482 | 26,482
4 | 0 14,896 | 14,896
5 | 0 7,230 | 7,230
6 | 0 3,266 | 3,266
7 | 0 3,729 | 3,729
. | 1,561,176 957,070 | 2,518,246
-----------+----------------------+----------
Total | 1,774,079 1,094,964 | 2,869,043
The same happens for the HR dataset:
. use "IAHR73FL.DTA" ,clear
. ta hml1 hv227, m
number of | has mosquito bed net
mosquito | for sleeping
bed nets | no yes | Total
-----------+----------------------+----------
0 | 43,459 0 | 43,459
1 | 0 8,820 | 8,820
2 | 0 9,029 | 9,029
3 | 0 4,791 | 4,791
4 | 0 2,419 | 2,419
5 | 0 1,050 | 1,050
6 | 0 430 | 430
7 | 0 434 | 434
. | 333,689 197,388 | 531,077
-----------+----------------------+----------
Total | 377,148 224,361 | 601,509
We are wondering why these individuals (957,070 that reported having mosquito nets) do not have these other information. We double checked pages 13-14 in the Household questionnaire and they show that the number of individuals alswering some questions (like hml1) should not be different from hv227. Could you please clarify it?

Following is a response from DHS Senior DHS Data Processing Specialist, Mianmian Yu:
Thanks for your question. We have investigated your observation and noticed that the variable HML1 was not populated fully due to an unexpected interruption at the stage of recode construction. A correction on this has been implemented and will be released in a new version of the recode data.
