Background: Recent reductions in malaria burden have been attributed largely to long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs). In March-June 2017, approximately 3 years after a national LLIN distribution campaign, a cross-sectional community survey was conducted to investigate factors associated with malaria parasitaemia and anaemia, in advance of Uganda's 2017-2018 LLIN campaign.

Methods: Households from 104 clusters in 48 districts were randomly selected using two-staged cluster sampling; 50 households were enrolled per cluster.
