A decline in the coverage and utilization of long-lasting insecticidal nets in Southern Ethiopia: A repeated cross-sectional study

LLIN ownership and use were far below the conventional target (80%). LLIN ownership and utilization declined before the expected period.

Thus, the malaria programs should consider more LLIN distribution and strengthen LLIN use among population with access to LLIN within their households.
