  1. aMultivariate logistic regression odds ratio (OR); bchildren aged six to 59 months who have slept under an ITN the night preceding the survey according to the mother; chouseholds that received an ITN during the private sector ITN distribution in June 2012; dknowing that malaria is only transmitted through mosquito bites; *significant p-value; CI, confidence interval; Hb, haemoglobin; ITN, insecticide-treated net; RDT, rapid diagnostic test.
