Job Title: Coordinator

Location: Anambra

Methods

• Cohort households and campaign nets have been identified for longitudinal net durability monitoring.
• In total, 288 households have been selected in 24 wards in various Local Government Areas (LGAs) across the state.
• The durability monitoring includes interviews to collect various data in cohort households using mobile devices, and physical inspection of the labelled cohort nets and collecting various data on these and other nets owned by the households.
• Twelve households were selected in each ward during the post-campaign survey in November 2022 out of those that have received nets to establish a cohort of nets for longitudinal durability monitoring (i.e., 288 in total from 24 wards).
• These households have been visited at months 12 and 24 after the campaign.
• The cohort households will be visited again at month 36 for interviews and collection of a sample of remaining cohort nets.
• Cohort campaign nets will be retrieved for insecticidal effectiveness studies (bioassays and chemical analysis). New replacement nets will be given to the households for each collected cohort net.
• The following procedure will be used to sample the cohort nets for collection during the interviews.
• The cohort households will be identified within the digital questionnaire before the survey.
• From a master list of cohort nets that were still being used at month 24, 60 cohort nets will be retrieved during the month 36 survey from every household until the 60 cohort nets are successfully retrieved.
• During household interviews, if a cohort household has been selected for net retrieval, nets that have been in use are collected (after labelling the “door” side) and new replacement nets issued.
