Quantifying bias in measuring insecticide-treated bednet use: meta-analysis of self-reported vs objectively measured adherence
Background Insecticide-treated bednets (ITNs) are recommended for use by 3.4 billion people at risk of malaria world-wide. Policy makers rely on measurements of ITN use to optimize malaria prevention efforts. Self-reports are the most common means of assessing ITN use, but self-reports may be biased in a way that reduces their reliability as a proxy for ITN adherence. This meta-analysis compare...

In addition, the economic implication of using alternative measures is important as the cost of electronic monitoring devices is not covered by insurance, w...
متن کاملMaternal Attitudes about Objectively Monitored Bednet Use in Rural Uganda
Insecticide-treated bednets (ITNs) are a mainstay of malaria prevention, yet poor adherence poses a major barrier to effective prevention. Self-reports of bednet use suffer from recall and social desirability biases. We have designed a device that electronically records ITN usage longitudinally. SmartNet consists of circuits made from a conductive fabric interwoven into the sides and top of a r...
