INSECTICIDE TREATED NETS AND UNDER-FIVE MORTALITY IN UGANDA

This study examines the use of insecticide treated nets on under-five mortality in Uganda. The quantitative analysis of Uganda and Demographci Health Surveys data of 2011 utilises Cox proportional hazard model. It examines the extent to which insecticide treated nets affects under-five mortality. It also compares the strength of community effect of insecticide treated nets to individual protective effect in Uganda. It is anticipated that use of insecticide treated nets does not only reduce the risk of under-five mortality but also its use at community level explains under-five mortality differences.
