HH = household; CI = confidence interval; ITN = insecticide-treated mosquito nets; IPTp = intermittent preventive treatment in pregnancy; ns = not available.
†
Women who reported themselves as currently pregnant.
‡
For preventive treatment during pregnancy, estimates are based on the last birth among women during the previous 5 years. For MIS 2006, N = 1,572 and for MIS 2008 N = 2,391.
§
Estimates of children with fever are based on N = 363 for MIS 2006 and N = 843 for MIS 2008.
