The household record of the Ghana DHS survey in 2008 has two variables for children sleeping under a bed net.
The first one HV228 specifically defines children to be under 5 yrs but the second variable,HML2, is just listed as number of children under mosquito bed net the previous night.What age range for children is HML2 referring to? Is it the dictionary definition of children ( anyone under the legal age of adulthood i.e 18 yrs for Ghana?

Thanks
