BACKGROUND
Malaria constitutes a major health problem, with children and pregnant women being the most vulnerable to its morbidity and mortality.
AIM
To determine the demographic factors associated with the use of insecticide-treated nets among children and pregnant women in Nigeria.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
The study was based on data drawn from the Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey 2008 on the use of insecticide-treated nets among women and children. The survey was conducted in 34070 households and a total of 10,724 women aged 15-49 years participated in the survey. Data were entered into Minitab version 15 and the chi-square test for independence was performed to show association between variables.
RESULTS
The results revealed that 49.8% of children and 44% of pregnant women present in households that owe insecticide-treated nets slept under them on the night before the survey. Sleeping under an insecticide-treated nets among children was associated with (P<0.05) the age of a child, geopolitical zone, and wealth quintile while the use of insecticide-treated nets among pregnant women was associated with the education level and wealth quintile of households.
CONCLUSION
The study demonstrated that some demographic factors are associated with the use of ITNs among children and pregnant women in Nigeria.
背景
疟疾是一个重大的健康问题，儿童和孕妇最易受到其发病和死亡的影响。
目的
确定尼日利亚儿童和孕妇中与使用驱虫蚊帐相关的人口统计学因素。
材料与方法
该研究基于2008年尼日利亚人口与健康调查中有关妇女和儿童使用驱虫蚊帐的数据。该调查在34070户家庭中进行，共有10724名年龄在15至49岁之间的妇女参与了调查。数据录入Minitab 15版本，并进行独立性卡方检验以显示变量之间的关联。
结果
结果显示，在拥有驱虫蚊帐的家庭中，49.8%的儿童和44%的孕妇在调查前一晚睡在蚊帐下。儿童睡在驱虫蚊帐下与（P<0.05）儿童年龄、地理政治区域和财富五分位数有关，而孕妇使用驱虫蚊帐与家庭的教育水平和财富五分位数有关。
结论
该研究表明一些人口统计学因素与尼日利亚儿童和孕妇使用驱虫蚊帐有关。
