Peter S Larson, Don P Mathanga, Carl H Campbell, Mark L Wilson Malaria Journal 2012, 11:18 (11 January 2012) The authors analysed the significance of distance and ITN possession/use through standard statistical tests. Strategies that exclusively distribute ITNs through health facilities are likely to be less effective in increasing possession and use in communities that are more distant from those facilities.

However, in order to sustain high effective coverage, there is need for complimentary distribution strategies between mass distribution campaigns.

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.
