| description | A case control study was carried out among aborigines in Pos Lenjang, Kuala Lipis to determine the effect of impregnated bed nets on malarial infection among them. In the Malay Peninsular, 70% of malarial cases occurred amongst aborigines every year . Among the aborigines, majority of the malaria occurred in those who live in the deep interior jungle. This study was situated deep in the interior and known as PI area. Malarial controlled program is carried out by Malarial Unit, Department of Aborigines Gombak with the support from Kuala Lipis Health Department. A total of 133 positive cases of malaria reported between January -June 1999 were successfully interviewed. Multiple logistic regression was used to determine the combined effect of main factors. It was found out that knowledge of malarial symptoms (OR = 0.332 95% CI 0.157,0.660) and seek proper treatment when sick (OR =2.23995% CI 1.205,4.162) were the main factors which influenced the use of impregnated bed nets among aborigines in Pos Lenjang, Kuala Lipis, Pahang. |
