Léa Toé, Olé Skovmand, Kounbobr Dabiré, Abdoulaye Diabaté, Yveline Diallo, Tinga Guiguemdé, Julien Doannio, Martin Akogbeto, Thierry Baldet, Marc-Eric Gruénais Malaria Journal 2009, 8:175 (29 July 2009) One year after bed net distribution, the motivation for their use had decreased. This qualitative study shows that the inhabitants’ conception of malaria and the inconvenience of using bed nets in small houses were the major reasons. Bed nets were not used when the perceived benefits of reduction in mosquito nuisance, and of malaria, were considered not to be worth the inconvenience of daily use.
