Mahdi Mohammadi, Alireza Ansari-Moghaddam, Ahmad Raiesi, Fatemeh Rakhshani, Fatemeh Nikpour, Aliakbar Haghdost, Mansoor Ranjbar, Rahim Taghizadeh-Asl, Mohammad Sakeni, Reza Safari, Mehdi Saffari Malaria Journal 2011, 10:277 (22 September 2011)

Data were collected in a cluster randomized cross-sectional survey from 5,466 households in both rural and urban areas of 20 malaria-affected districts of Iran. The study indicates that low access along with low understanding of the role of nets in malaria prevention are the main barriers to utilization of bed nets.

Assessing bed net use and non-use after long-lasting insecticidal net distribution: a simple framework to guide programmatic strategies

Jodi Vanden Eng, Julie Thwing, Adam Wolkon, Manisha A Kulkarni, Ayub Manya, Marcy Erskine, Allen Hightower, Laurence Slutsker Malaria Journal 2010, 9:133 (18 May 2010)

Presents timely results from post-campaign surveys across 5 countries scaling-up ITNs/LLINs. The researchers present a framework for assessing the deficiencies in ITN use among target populations. This approach could be very useful to NMCP managers to assess efforts to increase ITN use and to identify populations in need of additional targeting to get use levels up.

Costs and cost-effectiveness of vector control in Eritrea using insecticide-treated bed nets

Joshua O Yukich, Mehari Zerom, Tewolde Ghebremeskel, Fabrizio Tediosi, Christian Lengeler Malaria Journal 2009, 8:51 (30 March 2009)

This study addresses the cost effectiveness of ITN delivery through routine public sector delivery systems in Eritrea, a country often used as an example of a success story in terms of the outcomes achieved and it was important to know whether it is also cost effective.

Retention and efficacy of long-lasting insecticide-treated nets distributed in eastern Sudan: a two-step community-based study

Saad El-Din Hassan, Elfatih M Malik, Somia I Okoued, Elsadig M Eltayeb Malaria Journal 2008, 7:85 (20 May 2008)

This study confirms again that bed net distribution activities should be accompanied by health education campaigns and followed up by surveys to evaluate their effectiveness.

Costs and effects of the Tanzanian national voucher scheme for insecticide-treated nets

Jo-Ann Mulligan, Joshua Yukich, Kara Hanson Malaria Journal 2008, 7:32 (15 February 2008)

The debate continues to rage regarding the relative roles of different models of ITN delivery and, in most studies, the relative cost effectiveness of each is difficult to compare in the absence of reliable data. This paper presents the first study to explore a scaled up voucher model.
