ABSTRACT

Introduction: As part of the Universal Coverage Campaign implemented in 2017, a new model was applied for the distribution of mosquito nets impregnated with long-lasting insecticide. Coverage had been found to be low in 2015.
Objective: Characterize the new model for the distribution of mosquito nets impregnated with long-lasting insecticide applied in the 2017 Campaign in Tete Province, Mozambique.
Methods: A cross-sectional observational descriptive quantitative study was conducted. Starting from univariate statistics, estimation was made of percentage and its 95% confidence intervals for correct registry indicators. Pearson's correlation coefficient (r) and the coefficient of determination (R2) were estimated to find the association between registered and possessing households.
Results: Of the 3 284 households evaluated during the registration stage, 98% were given stickers and 99% received coupons. The criterion followed for the assignment of mosquito nets impregnated with long-lasting insecticide was correct in 97%, respectively. Of the households registered, 1 086 (97%) had access to at least one mosquito net impregnated with long-lasting insecticide, whereas 1 041 (92%) had slept under these mosquito nets the night before the survey.
Conclusions: With the use of the new model for the distribution of mosquito nets impregnated with long-lasting insecticide, the Universal Coverage Campaign ensures the appropriate registration of households, contributing to an increase in their possession and use, and the attainment of universal coverage goals in the community.
