Impact of insecticide-treated bednet use on malaria prevalence in Benishangul-Gumuz regional state, Ethiopia.
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES In Ethiopia, nearly 10 million insecticide-treated bednets (ITNs) were distributed between 2004 and 2005; which touched 56 million in 2012. The study was aimed to determine the impact of these bednets on malaria prevalence, in Yaso district of Benishangul-Gumuz region, western Ethiopia. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted during the peak malaria transmission ...
متن کاملEffect of expanded insecticide-treated bednet coverage on child survival in rural Kenya: a longitudinal study
BACKGROUND The potential of insecticide-treated bednets (ITNs) to contribute to child survival has been well documented in randomised controlled trials. ITN coverage has increased rapidly in Kenya from 7% in 2004 to 67% in 2006. We aimed to assess the extent to which this investment has led to improvements in child survival. METHODS A dynamic cohort of about 3500 children aged 1-59 months wer...
متن کاملObjective monitoring of Insecticide-treated bednet use to improve malaria prevention: SmartNet development and validation
Malaria is a serious health concern for three billion people worldwide, killing nearly 600,000 people a year. Insecticide-treated bednets (ITNs) are an effective and valuable tool for preventing malaria and hundreds of millions of ITNs have been distributed throughout sub-Saharan Africa. Nevertheless, our current methods for measuring ITN use are inadequate to inform malaria prevention programs...
متن کاملMalaria in camps for internally-displaced persons in Uganda: evaluation of an insecticide-treated bednet distribution programme.
Malaria is a key health problem among displaced populations in malaria-endemic areas. Mass distribution of insecticide-treated bednets (ITN) to prevent malaria is often carried out in complex emergencies, but there are few data on the outcome or operational effectiveness of such programmes. In June 2001, Medecins Sans Frontieres completed a mass distribution of ITNs (Permanet) to internally dis...
متن کاملHouseholds with Insufficient Bednets in a Village with Sufficient Bednets: Evaluation of Household Bednet Coverage Using Bednet Distribution Index in Xepon District, Lao PDR
In Lao PDR, the National Malaria Control Program (NMCP) evaluates bednet coverage, often at the village level, using a coverage target of one net per 2.5 (or fewer) persons in a given population. However, in villages that meet the target, not all households necessarily meet the target or utilize all available bednets. This study explored households that fell short of the target and household ut...
