This policy analysis shows how effective insect repellent bed nets can reduce malaria in rural Ghanaian communities, suggesting improved distribution methods.
In Ghanaian rural communities in Guinea, the use of insect repellent bed nets (IRBNs) is essential for controlling malaria transmission. A mixed-method approach combining quantitative data from surveys and qualitative insights from focus group discussions was employed. Insect repellent bed nets were predominantly adopted by women (75%) in households with children under five years, indicating gendered usage patterns. The study underscores the importance of targeted distribution strategies to ensure equitable access and long-term use of IRBNs. Policy recommendations include prioritising community engagement for sustained adoption and implementation of innovative distribution models.
