Interviewer instructions

The purpose of this question is to assess how many young children, a group highly vulnerable to malaria, are being correctly covered by prevention interventions. Record only the number of children aged under five years who slept under a bed net the night before the interview. Do not count children whom the respondent says usually sleep under one, but for some reason did not the previous night.
