Recalculating the Net Use Gap: A Multi-Country Comparison of ITN Use versus ITN Access

The gap between household ownership of at least one ITN and population use of ITN has in the past been seen as evidence for failure to achieve appropriate net use.

متن کاملAre pregnant women prioritized for bed nets? An assessment using survey data from 10 African countries
BACKGROUND Malaria in pregnancy is a major public health concern, contributing to roughly 11% of neonatal deaths and to 25% of all maternal deaths in some parts of the world.

One particular example is insecticide-treated bed nets (ITNs). In this study, we present repeat observations of ITN coverage among rural Kenyan homesteads exposed at different times to a range of delivery mode...
