Abstract :
Malaria during pregnancy is a major cause of
poor pregnancy outcomes in Malawi. To reduce the
burden of Malaria during pregnancy, Insecticide-Treated
Nets are distributed routinely to pregnant women in
Malawi. This study aimed at establishing contributing
factors and determining rate of usage of Insecticide-
Treated Nets distributed routinely in health facilities to
pregnant women in Ntchisi.Major contributing factors for Insecticide-
Treated Net usage and non-usage were prevention of
mosquito bites and not having an Insecticide-Treated Net
respectively.This study
recommends that interventions promoting usage of
Insecticide-Treated Nets factor in the role of malaria
prevention in improving pregnancy outcomes.
