This study demonstrates the effectiveness of IRS in reducing malaria incidence in Ngoma District and highlights the role of socioeconomic factors and sources of information in influencing IRS uptake. To maximize the impact of IRS and ensure equitable benefits, targeted strategies, enhanced IRS education, and integrated malaria control approaches, including the use of bed nets, are crucial.
