Overview

Analysis of ITN trends highlights geographic disparities in malaria prevention measures across Nigeria.

Key Points

  • Significant geographic and temporal variations in access to and use of insecticide-treated nets were found.
  • Access to bed nets increased over time for women of reproductive age, particularly in northern states, yet usage remained low.
  • Children under five saw increased usage in northern states, while access and usage disparities persisted between regions.
  • Regional public health interventions are essential to increase bed net utilization and overcome cultural barriers.
