While there has been much discussion about how long LLINs last, there has been little discussion over which are most acceptable to communities. If the nets are not used, it doesn't matter how long they last. This paper represents a welcome addition to our information on how to select the most appropriate product when implementing and LLIN programmes.

IPTi does not appear to have any negative effect on attitudes to EPI, and it is not interpreted as immunization against malaria.
