埃塞俄比亚75%以上的面积有疟疾，使疟疾成为埃塞俄比亚主要的公共卫生问题。本研究的目的是根据快速诊断测试（RDT）调查结果，调查疟疾的患病率以及相关的社会经济、地理和人口因素。 2006年12月至2007年1月，卡特中心在埃塞俄比亚阿姆哈拉州、奥罗米亚州和南部民族和人民（SNNP）地区进行了基线疟疾指标调查。本研究使用该数据。采用广义线性模型方法分析数据，响应变量是使用快速诊断测试（RDT）是否存在疟疾。分析表明，RDT结果与年龄和性别显着相关。其他重要的协变量混杂变量包括水源、取水行程、厕所设施、房间总数、墙壁材料和屋顶材料。研究发现，拥有清洁水源的家庭疟疾患病率较低。发现茅草和棍棒/泥屋顶以及土/当地粪灰泥地板的疟疾快速诊断率更高。此外，人们发现，在房屋内喷洒抗疟疾药物是降低疟疾风险的一种方法。此外，还确定了家庭的住房条件、水源及其距离、性别和年龄，以产生双向互动效应。社会经济条件较差的个体与疟疾感染呈正相关。改善家庭住房条件是降低疟疾风险的手段之一。儿童和女性家庭成员最容易感染疟疾。这些信息对于设计改进的战略干预措施以减少埃塞俄比亚的疟疾流行至关重要。
More than 75% of the total area of Ethiopia is malarious, making malaria the leading public health problem in Ethiopia. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence rate and the associated socio-economic, geographic and demographic factors of malaria based on the rapid diagnosis test (RDT) survey results. From December 2006 to January 2007, a baseline malaria indicator survey in Amhara, Oromiya and Southern Nation Nationalities and People (SNNP) regions of Ethiopia was conducted by The Carter Center. This study uses this data. The method of generalized linear model was used to analyse the data and the response variable was the presence or absence of malaria using the rapid diagnosis test (RDT). The analyses show that the RDT result was significantly associated with age and gender. Other significant covariates confounding variables are source of water, trip to obtain water, toilet facility, total number of rooms, material used for walls, and material used for roofing. The prevalence of malaria for households with clean water found to be less. Malaria rapid diagnosis found to be higher for thatch and stick/mud roof and earth/local dung plaster floor. Moreover, spraying anti-malaria to the house was found to be one means of reducing the risk of malaria. Furthermore, the housing condition, source of water and its distance, gender, and ages in the households were identified in order to have two-way interaction effects. Individuals with poor socio-economic conditions are positively associated with malaria infection. Improving the housing condition of the household is one of the means of reducing the risk of malaria. Children and female household members are the most vulnerable to the risk of malaria. Such information is essential to design improved strategic intervention for the reduction of malaria epidemic in Ethiopia.
