Description

This dataset merges a series of household surveys conducted in Karonga district, northern Malawi under the auspices of the Karonga Health and Demographic Surveillance System (HDSS) and the Cooking and Pneumonia Study (CAPS), a large cluster randomised trial conducted within the HDSS catchment area in which intervention households received two cleaner burning biomass-fuelled cookstoves. The dataset comprises children and adolescents who satisfied the following eligibility criteria: 1) resident in a household enrolled in CAPS, and 2) aged 5-18 years at time of enrolment. Variables include measures of demographic and socioeconomic characteristics, school enrolment and attendance, and household cooking practices in the context of the CAPS trial.
