Modelling malaria treatment practices in Bangladesh using spatial statistics Ubydul Haque, Lauren M Scott, Masahiro Hashizume, Emily Fisher, Rashidul Haque, Taro Yamamoto, Gregory E Glass Malaria Journal 2012, 11:63 (5 March 2012) Several factors including tribal affiliation, housing materials, household densities, education levels, and proximity to the regional urban centre, were found to be effective predictors of malaria treatment-seeking preferences.
