Evaluation of household coverage with long-lasting insecticidal nets in central Cote d'Ivoire.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To reduce malaria burden in Côte d'Ivoire, the Ministry of Health aims for 90% of its population to possess one long-lasting insecticidal net (LLIN) for every two persons by 2025. This study evaluated LLIN coverage two years after a mass distribution in central Côte d'Ivoire.

Methods

A census was conducted in 43 villages. Data were collected on household geo-position, composition, number of sleeping units and LLINs owned. LLIN coverage was assessed using: 1/ownership; proportion of household with at least one LLIN; 2/household access; households with sufficient nets for every two persons and for every sleeping unit; and 3/population access; proportion of population with access to LLIN within households and sleeping units.
