Detailed Data Descriptions
- ITN Field Experiment Data
The data were collected as part of a randomized controlled trial in rural Orissa, India. The study evaluated the effectiveness of different distribution mechanisms for insecticide treated nets.
- Format: Stata (.dta)
- Unique identifiers: id_v (village ID) and id_hhno (household ID), with individual-level data additionally identified by memid (individual ID within household)
- Time periods: Baseline (t=0), ITN sales (t=1), re-treatment periods (t=2, t=3), and follow-up (t=4)
- Privacy protection: All personal identifiers including individual and village names have been removed. All identifiers are anonymous.
- Data Dictionary
All Stata files (.dta) are self-describing with variable labels and value labels included in the files. No separate codebook is required.
