Households 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...
متن کاملEffects of trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and insecticide-treated bednets on malaria among HIV-infected Ugandan children.
BACKGROUND Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP/SMX) prophylaxis and insecticide-treated bednets reduce malaria risk among HIV-infected adults. The efficacy of TMP/SMX may be diminished where antifolate resistance to malaria is high. We evaluated the efficacy of these interventions for malaria prevention among Ugandan children. METHODS We concurrently followed 300 HIV-infected children aged 1-1...
متن کاملDo free goods stick to poor households? Experimental evidence on insecticide treated bednets
According to economic theory, the market will allocate a good to those willing and able to pay the most for it. This suggests that efforts to target durable health goods such as insecticide-treated bed nets (ITNs) to poor populations may prove ineffective, with the poor reselling donated goods to the non-poor who value them more highly. Both wealth and endowment effects militate against the sal...
متن کاملFrom efficacy to effectiveness: insecticide-treated bednets in Africa.
Insecticide-treated bednets and curtains (ITBC) have proven in recent large-scale trials to have a high efficacy in reducing morbidity and mortality from malaria in African children. However, it is unlikely that the efficacy measured in trials can be entirely sustained under programme conditions. This has important implications for the cost-effectiveness of the intervention. Furthermore, there ...
متن کاملHow will the reduction of tariffs and taxes on insecticide- treated bednets affect household purchases?
One of the steps called for in the fight against malaria is the removal of tariffs and taxes on insecticide-treated bednets (ITNs), netting materials, and insecticides, with a view to reducing the retail prices of ITNs and thus increasing utilization. In this paper we develop an approach for analysing the extent to which reform of tariff and tax policy can be expected to increase ITN purchases....
