Implication

Multilevel analysis of socioeconomic and community factors affecting ITN access in SSA, suggesting tailored interventions.

Key Points

  • Access to insecticide-treated nets is only 32.11% among households, with significant socioeconomic disparities.
  • Higher ITN access correlates with married heads of households, wealthier families, and improved educational levels.
  • Multilevel logistic regression was applied to analyze data from 214,181 households across 29 surveys in SSA.
  • Targeted strategies are crucial for improving access and reducing malaria burdens in different regions of Sub-Saharan Africa.
