* Household ITN ownership was defined as the percentage of household who had at least one ITN during the survey over the total households surveyed. Parasite prevalence rate in children was defined as the percentage of children who had Plasmodium-positive slide reading by microscope over the total samples of slides. Clinical case rate was defined as reported malaria episodes per 1,000 people during the survey.
