dc.description.abstractBACKGROUND In July and September 2006 3 4 million long lasting insecticide treated bed nets LLINs were distributed free in a campaign targeting children 0 59 months old CU5s in the 46 districts with malaria in Kenya A survey was conducted one month after the distribution to evaluate who received campaign LLINs who owned insecticide treated bed nets and other bed nets received through other channels and how these nets were being used The feasibility of a distribution strategy aimed at a high risk target group to meet bed net ownership and usage targets is evaluated METHODS A stratified two stage cluster survey sampled districts and enumeration areas with probability proportional to size Handheld computers PDAs with attached global positioning systems GPS were used to develop the sampling frame guide interviewers back to chosen households and collect survey data RESULTS In targeted areas 67 5 95 CI 64 6 70 3 of all households with CU5s received campaign LLINs Including previously owned nets 74 4 95 CI 71 8 77 0 of all households with CU5s had an ITN Over half of CU5s 51 7 95 CI 48 8 54 7 slept under an ITN during the previous evening Nearly forty percent 39 1 of all households received a campaign net elevating overall household ownership of ITNs to 50 7 95 CI 48 4 52 9 CONCLUSIONS The campaign was successful in reaching the target population families with CU5s the risk group most vulnerable to malaria Targeted distribution strategies will help Kenya approach indicator targets but will need to be combined with other strategies to achieve desired population coverage levels
