Replication data for: Namibia (2006): Malaria TRaC Study Evaluating Ownership and Use of Insecticide Treated Nets in Two Northern Regions First Round

In April 2006 the Social Marketing Association (SMA), Population Services International (PSI) local affiliate in Namibia, conducted a household survey designed to investigate the important determinants of insecticide treated nets (ITN) use by households, focusing on those with pregnant women and children under five. The study also aimed to determine the current levels of a) household ITN ownership and use by under fives and pregnant women and b) opportunity, ability and motivation (OAM) related determinants of ITN use. The survey served as a baseline survey for future use. A multiple time cross-sectional study design was used to identify determinants of behavior, monitor progress and evaluate programmatic impact. This study served as a baseline and a follow up tracking survey will be done in 2008. Two hundred and forty (240) households with pregnant women and/or children under the age of five were randomly selected from two regions, Kavango and Oshana in Namibia. The heads of households were interviewed and a total of 480 households participated in the study. Results are presented in standard PSI Dashboard form. Only households with pregnant women and/or children under the age of five were included in the sample.
