Insecticide-treated nets are a ubiquitous tool for malaria prevention. Low access and inconsistent use limit their real-world effectiveness. Targeted interventions throughout the user journey are required for optimisation.
Insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) are the most widely used malaria vector control intervention and play a crucial role in reducing transmission. It is estimated that ITNs accounted for 68 percent of malaria cases averted in sub-Saharan Africa between 2000 and 2015. However, the full potential of this intervention is constrained by suboptimal use rates. This study investigates the factors influencing ITN use in Nigeria and Uganda.
This poster was presented at the 73rd Annual Meeting of the American Society of Tropical Medicine & Hygiene (ASTMH).
