LLITN Utilization Among Pregnant Women in Rural Ghana: A 60-Participant KAP Study

60 pregnant women in rural Ghana were surveyed on their knowledge, access, and use of Long-Lasting Insecticidal Nets (LLITNs). The dataset includes socio-demographic characteristics and is presented with eight complementary visualizations like heatmaps and violin plots. Author Gabriel Osei Forkuo published the data on figshare in May 2026 under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Analyzing correlations between knowledge, access, and actual usage of malaria prevention tools.
• Training models to predict factors influencing LLITN adoption among pregnant women.
• Creating multi-faceted data visualizations for public health communication based on the described visualization suite.

Strengths

• Includes data from 60 purposively selected pregnant women.
• Findings are presented using a suite of eight complementary data visualizations.
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The sample of 60 women is small and purposively selected, which may limit generalizability.
