Variable included in the multivariate model (model II): malaria test result either test positive (coded 1) or test negative (coded 0) for both model I and model II. Age, sex, and anemia levels of children, sex and education of household head, household electricity status, media exposure, number of living room, net hanging status for sleeping, residence, and wealth index were used as independent variables in multivariate regression model (model II)
