Long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) are one of the main interventions recommended by the World Health Organization for malaria vector control. LLINs are ineffective if they are not being used. Subsequent to the completion of a cluster randomized cross over trial conducted in rural Greater Accra where participants were provided with the 'Bɔkɔɔ System'-a set of solar powered net fan and light consoles with a solar panel and battery-or alternative household water filters, all trial participants were invited to participate in a Becker-DeGroot-Marschak auction to determine the mean willingness to pay (WTP) for the fan and light consoles and to estimate the demand curve for the units.
RESULTS, DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS: Results demonstraed a mean WTP of approximately 55 Cedis (~13 USD). Demand results suggested that at a price which would support full manufacturing cost recovery, a majority of households in the area would be willing to purchase at least one such unit.
长效驱虫蚊帐是世界卫生组织推荐用于疟疾媒介控制的主要干预措施之一。如果不使用,长效驱虫蚊帐就没有效果。在大阿克拉农村地区完成一项整群随机交叉试验后,为参与者提供了“博科系统”——一套配备太阳能板和电池的太阳能蚊帐风扇和照明控制台,或替代家用滤水器,所有试验参与者都被邀请参加贝克尔 - 德格鲁特 - 马尔沙克拍卖,以确定对风扇和照明控制台的平均支付意愿(WTP),并估计这些设备的需求曲线。
结果、讨论与结论:结果显示平均支付意愿约为55塞迪(约合13美元)。需求结果表明,在能够支持完全收回制造成本的价格下,该地区的大多数家庭愿意购买至少一台这样的设备。
