目标 无国界医生组织 (MSF) 在博城和普杰洪地区(人口 158 000)开展疟疾控制项目,其中包括大规模分发、定期交付以及示范如何正确使用免费、长效驱虫蚊帐 (LLIN)。 2006/2007 年,分发了约 65 000 个 LLIN。本次后续研究的目的是衡量项目区的 LLIN 使用情况和所有权。方法 使用标准化问卷对 30 个集群中随机抽取的 900 个家庭户主进行访谈,了解家庭对 LLIN 的使用情况。对所有 LLIN 的状况进行了物理评估。结果 在报告的 900 个家庭中,83.4% 拥有至少一个 LLIN。在 16.6% 没有 LLIN 的人中,91.9% 没有参与无国界医生的大规模分发。在报告 LLIN 的 94.1% 的家庭中,观察到蚊帐正确悬挂在床上。在 1135 个悬挂的 LLIN 中,75.2% 没有孔或有 10 个或更少的手指大小的孔。 LLIN 最常见的来源是无国界医生 (MSF) (75.2%)。在 4997 名家庭成员中,67.2% 的人报告在研究前一天晚上在 LLIN 下睡觉,其中包括 76.8% 的 5 岁以下儿童和 73.0% 的孕妇。 结论 我们的结果表明,无国界医生组织在免费分发的 LLIN 方面取得了良好的使用效果。它是少数几个几乎实现了 2005 年“遏制疟疾”制定的新目标的领域之一,即到 2010 年至少 80% 的孕妇和 5 岁以下儿童使用 LLIN。
OBJECTIVE Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) runs a malaria control project in Bo and Pujehun districts (population 158 000) that includes the mass distribution, routine delivery and demonstration of correct use of free, long-lasting insecticide-treated nets (LLINs). In 2006/2007, around 65 000 LLINs were distributed. The aim of this follow-up study was to measure LLIN usage and ownership in the project area.METHODS Heads of 900 randomly selected households in 30 clusters were interviewed, using a standardized questionnaire, about household use of LLINs. The condition of any LLIN was physically assessed.RESULTS Of the 900 households reported, 83.4% owning at least one LLIN. Of the 16.6% without an LLIN, 91.9% had not participated in the MSF mass distribution. In 94.1% of the households reporting LLINs, the nets were observed hanging correctly over the beds. Of the 1135 hanging LLINs, 75.2% had no holes or 10 or fewer finger-size holes. The most common source of LLINs was MSF (75.2%). Of the 4997 household members, 67.2% reported sleeping under an LLIN the night before the study, including 76.8% of children under 5 years and 73.0% of pregnant women.CONCLUSION Our results show that MSF achieved good usage with freely distributed LLINs. It is one of the few areas where results almost achieve the new targets set in 2005 by Roll Back Malaria to have at least 80% of pregnant women and children under 5 years using LLINs by 2010.
