Sleeping under an ITN can reduce the incidence of malaria, and the data from the survey shows that about 58% of individuals in households that own at least one ITN slept under an ITN on the night before the survey. Various individual, household, and community-level factors are associated with ITN usage.
Background Sleeping under an ITN reduces contact with mosquitoes through the combination of a physical barrier and an insecticidal effect, which reduces the incidence of malaria. The 2016-2020 Burkina Faso National Malaria Strategic Plan aims to have at least 90% of the population, 100% of children under age 5, and 100% of pregnant women sleep under an ITN. Methods The analysis examines individual, household, and community-level factors associated with ITN usage. According to the 2017-18 Burkina Faso MIS, 58% of individuals in households that own at least one ITN reported that they slept under an ITN on the night before the survey. Results The use of ITNs was significantly associated with individual, household, and community-level variables that included age, gender, age of household head, number of sleeping rooms, wealth, malaria prevalence, residence, and region. Conclusions The results highlight areas of intervention at the individual, household, and community levels that can increase ITN use.
