This indicator measures the proportion of households that own at least one insecticide-treated mosquito net, which is pivotal in the fight against malaria and other mosquito-borne diseases. By focusing specifically on insecticide-treated nets (ITNs), this metric reflects not only the general availability of mosquito nets but also the adoption of more effective prevention measures. High percentages in this category suggest improved public health efforts and increased awareness regarding the
importance of ITNs in reducing disease transmission. Additionally, analyzing trends over time can provide insights into the effectiveness of targeted health interventions and inform strategies for enhancing community health outcomes in areas at high risk for mosquito-borne illnesses.
