Angola (2011): TRaC study evaluating LLIN use among caregivers of children under five in Benguela and Malanje.

A 2007 TRAC study was conducted in 6 cities of Angola, namely Luanda, Cabinda, Uige, Malanje, Huambo and Lubango. This study identified several behavioral factors associated with the use of mosquito nets by members of the target groups, which can be summarized as : the availability of mosquito nets , subjective norms , expectations and knowledge about transmission solution . This study was not able to provide information from rural areas. These areas are of great current interest for malaria prevention programs in Angola . The results of this study will display information about the performance of the project of PSI / Angola for malaria prevention and will identify important determinants of malaria prevention. These results are presented in PSI's Monitoring and Targeting table. PSI / Angola developed a program for the prevention of malaria in 2004, with the launch of the Jóia e Seguro & Salvo program. This program is funded by USAID. The program's main target group is pregnant women and caregivers of children under five. Social marketing activities of this program include the provision of bed nets in all provinces through a distribution networks. These activities are accompanied with promotional activities such as radio and television campaigns and community mobilization activities such as lecture theater and distribution of information materials. Through a strategy of clus ter sampling, a total of 2,496 homes were selected for the survey. A total 1,521 mothers or caregivers of children younger than 5 years were interviewed. The questionnaire included questions about demographic characteristics, behavior, use of insecticide, and exposure to PSI messaging through mass media.

2007年开展的TRAC研究在安哥拉6座城市实施，分别为罗安达（Luanda）、卡宾达（Cabinda）、威热（Uige）、马兰热（Malanje）、万博（Huambo）及卢班戈（Lubango）。本研究明确了目标群体成员使用蚊帐（mosquito nets）的多项关联行为影响因素，可归纳为：蚊帐可及性、主观规范、预期以及关于传播解决方案的认知。本研究未能获取农村地区的相关数据，而当前安哥拉疟疾防控项目对此类地区关注度极高。本研究结果将呈现PSI/安哥拉疟疾防控项目的执行成效，并明确疟疾防控的关键决定因素，相关结果已收录于PSI的监测与目标设定表中。PSI/安哥拉于2004年启动疟疾防控项目，推出"Jóia e Seguro & Salvo"项目，该项目由美国国际开发署（USAID）资助。本项目的核心目标群体为孕妇及5岁以下儿童的照料者。项目的社会营销活动包括通过分销网络向所有省份供应蚊帐（mosquito nets），同时配套开展广播、电视宣传活动，以及社区动员活动，如专题讲座与宣传资料发放。本研究采用整群抽样（cluster sampling）策略，共选取2496户家庭参与调查，累计访谈1521名5岁以下儿童的母亲或照料者。调查问卷涵盖人口统计学特征、行为习惯、杀虫剂使用情况，以及通过大众媒体接触PSI宣传信息的相关问题。
