Urban informal settlements in Kampala, Uganda face high malaria burden despite vector control efforts. A time-series comparative study using urban surveillance data from to. LLIN coverage increased by 68% in the intervention area compared to 47% in control areas, with a significant reduction (p < 0. 01) in child mortality associated with LLINs. LLINs significantly reduced malaria-related child mortality in urban informal settlements of Kampala, Uganda. Continued and expanded use of LLINs is recommended for effective malaria control in similar settings. Treatment effect was estimated with logit (pᵢ) =₀+^ Xᵢ, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.
