  1. The table shows the differences in household-level coverage and population-level coverage, as well as the variation in number of bed net users and non-users, for varying levels of ITN coverage with multiple coverage schemes (see Methods and Figure 3). To match GN-ITN [11], the human population is set as 185. In the partial scheme, only two persons are protected by a bed net in a ITN-covered house. On the other hand, in the complete scheme, all persons in the house are protected by bed nets in a ITN-covered house. For example, with 60% ITN coverage, in the partial scheme, 60 persons are protected by bed nets, yielding a population-level coverage of 32.43% (60 / 185 × 100); with the same ITN coverage, in the complete scheme, 110 persons are protected by bed nets, yielding a population-level coverage of 59.46% (110 / 185 × 100).
