Abstract
Malaria continues to be a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in sub-Saharan
Africa. In Uganda, malaria remains the leading cause of morbidity, accounting for 30 to 50 percent of
outpatient visits, 15 to 20 percent of admissions, and 9 to 14 percent of inpatient deaths. The first
national-wide Insecticide Treated Nets (ITNs) coverage campaign was launched in 2010 targeted at
households with pregnant women and children below 5yrs of age. The study assessed factors associated
with utilization of Insecticide Treated Nets (ITNs) among residents of Kamwenge Town Council,
Kamwenge District-Western Uganda. The study design was cross-sectional in which data were collected using an interviewer
administered structured questionnaire and analyzed using Stata version 13.
