Reasons for low long-lasting insecticide-treated net use and repurposing: qualitative study from southern Ethiopia
The low LLIN use and high repurposing practices were noted due to different reasons, including low awareness, negligence, ineffectiveness of LLINs in killing mosquitoes, and others. LLINs are repurposed mainly for covering different things and making ties. Continuous awareness creation activities and corrective measures might improve LLIN coverage and use.
