*The full multivariate model included the following non-significant terms: woman's age in 5 year increments, child living with mother, age of child, sex of child, wealth index, EA altitude, and interaction terms (EA category and school attendance, any malaria knowledge and wealth index, and school attendance and wealth index).

aOR =  adjusted odds ratio; CI = Confidence Intervals; EA = Enumeration area; HH = Household; ITNs = Insecticide-treated nets; U5 =  under 5 years of age.
