Prevalence and determinants of insecticide-treated net ownership among women of reproductive age in Nigeria: a mixed-effect insight from the 2021 malaria indicator survey
Approximately two-third of Nigerian women reported ITN ownership. This underscore the need for targeted interventions to address barriers and improve ITN access. While free ITN distribution programmes have been effective, socioeconomic and demographic factors have remained contributory to ITN access. Enhanced strategies should focus on equitable distribution and improved access to ITN among groups to achieve better malaria control outcomes in Nigeria.
