The 2016-2020 Burkina Faso National Malaria Strategic Plan aims to have at least 90% of the population, 100% of children under age 5, and 100% of pregnant women sleep under an ITN.
Methods: The analysis examines individual, household, and community-level factors associated with ITN usage.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates factors linked to stunted growth in primary school children and adolescents in Burkina Faso's Sahel region, using data from a 2016 survey involving 568 students from public schools.
- Results show a stunting prevalence of 32.92%, with higher rates in girls (36.61%) compared to boys (28.93%). Statistically significant factors associated with stunting include age, anemia, and latrine use.
- The study concludes that addressing anemia and encouraging latrine use could help reduce stunting among adolescents in the Dori municipality.
