Insecticide-treated nets for the prevention of malaria

This repository hosts the materials for a living systematic review and network meta-analysis regarding insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) to prevent malaria, developed for consideration by the Malaria and Neglected Tropical Diseases (MNT) department of the World Health Organization (WHO). This project investigates the comparative effectiveness of different ITN classes (including Pyrethroid-only, PBO, and Dual-AI nets) and important contextual factors for decision making. The aim of this work is to synthesise the evidence base using network meta-analysis to better inform the development of WHO recommendations on the use of ITNs in malaria-endemic settings.

This work is supported by the World Health Organization (WHO) Global Malaria Programme under the Agreement for Performance of Work (APW # incoming) and Long-Term Agreement (LTA) WHO-SHQ-RFP-25-3037.
