Hello,

I have another question about the country-specific variable s504d. The questionnaire asked women "how can someone protect themselves against malaria?" Some of the responses were "burn leaves, avoid drinking dirty water, avoid eating bad food and avoid getting soaked in the rain" which seem to be traditional practices that are not supported by scientific literature. Did the 2017 Malawi indicator survey classify these practices as false malaria prevention methods? Also, when can I find more information about how this question was designed?

Best,
