Net use was relatively high, with 72.5% of people reporting using a net the previous night, though this appeared lower in the intervention arm (68.0%) compared to the control arm (77.1%). The difference in net use across age groups was greater in the SET arm (ranging from 55% in 10–15 year olds to 76% in 50–100 year olds) compared to the control arm (ranging from 71% in 10–15 year olds to 84% in 0–5 year olds).In the endline survey, mean prevalence by cluster was 43.5% (95% CI: 23.7–66.2). Infection was highest in males (47.4% vs 40.8% in females) with the burden of infection highest in children aged 5–10 years (66.8%). Infection was highest in individuals living in households classified as the lowest SES category (46.9%, compared to 43.5% and 40.1% in the middle and higher categories). Infection was lower in those who reported using a net the previous night (41.0% compared to 50.0%).
