- W4383264503 abstract "Abstract Background Malaria is the main cause of morbidity and mortality in Cameroon. Insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) significantly reduce malaria transmission, but their use is not common in the population. This study aimed to estimate the nationwide prevalence of the non-use of ITNs and identify its major determinants. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted on interview data collected in households selected across all the regions of Cameroon through a non-probabilistic, random, 2-stage stratified sampling process. Descriptive statistics were used to describe the distribution of baseline characteristics across the households, and statistical tests assessed if the distribution of these characteristics differed significantly based on the non-use of ITNs, with 0.05 serving as a threshold of the p-value for statistical significance. The prevalence of the non-use of ITNs was estimated, and logistic regression models were used to tally the odds ratios of the associations between various factors and the non-use of ITNs, along with their 95% confidence intervals. The sensitivity, specificity, and area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) were determined, and the Hosmer Lemeshow test was used to measure the goodness of fit of each statistical model. Results Of the 7593 households interviewed, 77% had at least one ITN and 59% of the population used ITNs. Only 72% of the population with at least one ITN used it. The logistic model of the multivariate analysis was significant at a 5% threshold. The AUC was 0.7087 and the error rate was 18.01%. The sensitivity and specificity of the model were 97.56% and 13.70%, respectively. The factors that were associated with ITN use were the presence of sufficient nets in the household (p < 0.0001), the region of residence (p < 0.0001), the level of education of the respondent (p < 0.0001), and the standard of living (p = 0.0286). Sex, age, colour preferences, as well as the shape and size of the nets were not associated with ITN use. Conclusions The use of ITNs in Cameroon was low and varied according to specific factors. These identified factors could be used as the foundations of effective sensitization campaigns on the importance of ITNs." @default.
