Socio-Economic Factors and ITN Policies in Senegal, a Country Close to Malaria Elimination

Abstract

Data used for analysis is from Demographics and Health Surveys 2019 for Senegal. Linear regression models were performed with an estimation of the mean number of persons using ITNs among groups (urban or rural areas, wealth level, highest education level in the household and age of household head) in each country. We evaluated the importance of co-factors in the relationship between the number of ITNs (insecticide-treated nets) in a household and the number of household members by calculating the R-squared.
