I am using the KDHS 2014 and would like to construct a variable that shows:
i) Number of children 5years and below in a household who slept under a bed net last night.hv228 (hhold file)gives a summary of usage but not number of children.

ii) Number of household members above 5years who slept under the bed net last night.
By looking at the files, I see that the Household file may be the most appropriate file to use. Is this assumption correct?
To construct the usage of those above 5years of age, i was looking at variables: hmlo, hml11_1 to _7, hml21_1 to _7 and hmla to hmle but I have not succeeded in getting the right variable. Any help on how to construct these variables is appreciated.
