Equity changes in insecticide-treated net ownership by malaria transmission risk zone, 15 countries in sub-Saharan Africa, 2003–2014
ITN: insecticide-treated net.
Notes: Each household cluster was assigned a malaria transmission risk category based on Plasmodium falciparum parasite prevalence rates among children aged 2–10 years (PfPR2–10) from the Malaria Atlas Project 2010.33 We used the standard PfPR2–10 cut-offs from the Malaria Atlas Project: low and intermediate risk: 0.1% > PfPR2–10 < 40% and high risk: PfPR2–10 > 40%. A survey line under the equity line denotes that ITN ownership was more concentrated in richer households, while a survey line above the equity line represents ownership favouring the poorer households.
