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.
