Each group is randomized to receive a community health worker visit after a different duration, an average of 7 days after the point distribution
Household ITN retention
The percentage of ITNs distributed to a household that were found still in the household at the 7-11 week follow-up.
An average of 9 weeks after community point distribution
Household ITN retention
The percentage of ITNs distributed to a household that were found still in the household at the 5-6 month follow-up.
An average of 5.5 months after community point distribution
Household percentage of ITNs hung
The percentage of ITNs distributed to a household that were found hanging during the 7-11 week follow-up.
An average of 9 weeks after community point distribution
Household percentage of ITNs hung
The percentage of ITNs distributed to a household that were found hanging during the 5-6 month follow-up.
An average of 5.5 months after community point distribution
Household percentage of sleeping spaces covered
The percentage of sleeping spaces in the household that were covered by an ITN distributed during the community point distribution at the 7-11 week follow-up.
An average of 9 weeks after community point distribution
Household percentage of sleeping spaces covered
The percentage of sleeping spaces in the household that were covered by an ITN distributed during the community point distribution at the 5-6 month follow-up.
An average of 5.5 months after community point distribution

Interventions
Households were invited to a central location in their community (i.e. school, church, etc) where they received their allotment of ITNs (one per sleeping space, as pre-registered ahead of study activities). Households were provided with malaria prevention messaging at the distribution. They were called up one-by-one in front of other members of the community to mitigate misrepresentation of households.
CHWs visited households to take stock of how many ITNs that were distributed during the distribution were hung and to hang any unhung ITNs.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Household was pre-registered by the National Malaria Control Centre to receive ITNs ahead of the start of study activities.
