Survey on Mosquito Net Use Among Women in Four Guinea Regions

Secondary analysis of a 2023 cross-sectional Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices (KAP) survey involving 1,876 women of childbearing age in Guinea's Conakry, Boke, Kindia, and Labe regions. The study estimates the proportion of mosquito net use and identifies associated factors. The dataset was contributed by Thierno Ibrahima Diallo via figshare.

Use Cases

• Predict mosquito net use (binary outcome) from demographic variables like urban/rural residence using logistic regression.
• Analyze the association between belief variables (e.g., perceived health risk, perceived usefulness) and the likelihood of net use via odds ratios.
• Model regional variations in preventive behavior across the four surveyed regions of Guinea.
• Assess sample characteristics and factor distributions for women aged 15 to 49 from the 1,876 survey responses.

Strengths

• Sample size of 1,876 survey respondents provides a basis for statistical analysis.
• Includes calculated odds ratios and confidence intervals for key independent variables like urban residence and belief factors.
• Clear temporal and geographic scope: data from a 2023 survey in four specific regions of Guinea.

Limitations

• Dataset is very small (12.6 KB), likely containing only summary tables or a single analysis document, not the raw survey data.
• Unknown column names and lack of raw sample data limit direct machine learning application.
• Findings are specific to four regions in Guinea, limiting generalizability to other geographic contexts.
