The 24-months post-distribution net use check-up (PDCU) was conducted in Ntcheu District during December 2013/January 2014. 9,250 households across all 37 health centre catchment areas in the district were visited, unannounced, to assess net use and condition.
The data are being entered now and may be viewed as they are being entered in Malawi.
As soon as all data have been entered we will also publish a summary of the results.
The specific nature of the data - at the health centre level - means the District Health Officer (DHO), health centre leaders, community leaders and other health workers are able to decide what targeted malaria control intervention might be appropriate in specific areas. In circumstances where health systems and resources are stretched, information that assists with targeted interventions can help with effective use of resources and that is the aim of this information.
