Interviewer instructions
If the net that the child slept under the previous night was obtained within the last 2 years (24 months), calculate the number of months from the respondent's answer and record the number of months in the space provided. If the net was obtained within the last month, enter '00' in the spaces provided. For example, if the respondent says "We bought that net a year and a half ago, during the planting season," the first step is to add 12 months for each year mentioned (1 year = 12 months). The season mentioned by the respondent was the 'planting season'. Using this memory cue, ask the respondent to be more precise about which month the net was purchased: Ask whether it was the beginning, middle or end of planting season or which planting season it was if there is more than one. If the respondent says that he or she bought it "at the beginning of the planting season in April" and it is October at the time of the interview, count the number of months between April and October, not counting the month of purchase (May, June, July, August, September, October = 6 months. Then add the sums: 12 months + 6 months = 18 months, and record '18' in the space provided). If the net was obtained more than 2 years ago, circle '95.' If the respondent does not know the exact number of months, probe to obtain the best estimate. If the respondent says "a year ago," probe to try to determine if the net was obtained exactly 12 months ago, or earlier or later. Circle '98' for 'Not sure' only if the respondent cannot even estimate how long ago the net was obtained.
Question post text
If less than 1 month, record '00'. If answer is "12 months" or "1 year", probe to determine if net was treated exactly 12 months ago or earlier or later.
