A Knowledge, Attitude, Practice survey was carried out in July 1988 in Douala city, by cluster sampling and household visits. 98% of these households declared being disturbed by mosquitoes (bites, diseases, noise); 91% of families are using a vector control method; the main methods are: bed-nets (48%), insecticide sprays (39.5%) and mosquito coils (36.7%). The average cumulated expense by households for vector control (116.6 ECU/year) and care for diseases attributed to mosquitoes (147.4 ECU/year) was evaluated at the equivalent of about 3 months of "minimum monthly wages". More than 90% of people interviewed would accept buying and using an insecticide impregnated bed-net provided that the price of such a product be lower than the current habitual price for ordinary bed-nets. The distribution of the impregnation technique must be made at the level of impregnation centres, which should start impregnating the existing bed-nets and take care of informing the public.
1988年7月，在杜阿拉市通过整群抽样和挨家挨户走访的方式开展了一项关于知识、态度和实践的调查。98%的家庭称受到蚊子困扰（叮咬、疾病、噪音）；91%的家庭采用病媒控制方法；主要方法有：蚊帐（48%）、杀虫剂喷雾（39.5%）和蚊香（36.7%）。家庭用于病媒控制的平均累计费用（每年116.6欧洲货币单位）以及用于治疗蚊子传播疾病的费用（每年147.4欧洲货币单位）估计约相当于3个月的“最低月工资”。超过90%的受访者表示，如果杀虫剂处理过的蚊帐价格低于普通蚊帐的现行惯常价格，他们愿意购买和使用。浸药技术的推广必须在浸药中心层面进行，浸药中心应开始对现有的蚊帐进行浸药处理，并负责向公众宣传。
