Description
| Malaria is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in Liberia. Access is a key determinant of ITN use but it is not the only one; prior studies have identified individual, household, and community level factors that affect ITN use. However, studies have generally not assessed the psychosocial or ideational determinants of ITN use. Using 2014 household survey data, this manuscript examines the socio-demographic, ideational, household, and community factors associated with household member use of ITNs in Liberia. Multilevel modeling was used to assess fixed effects at the individual, household, and community levels, and random effects at the household and cluster levels. The data showed significant residual clustering at the household level, indicating that there were unmeasured factors operating at this level that are associated with ITN use. Age, sex, number of ITNs in household, and female caregiver’s perceived severity of malaria, perceived self-efficacy to detect a complicated case of malaria, and exposure to the ‘Take Cover’ communication campaign were positively associated with ITN use by members of her household. The association with household size was negative. (2016-06) |
