Description
Grace Kemigisha and co-authors report a 2025 survey on mosquito repellent use for malaria control in Nangabo Ward, Uganda. Repellents could add to nets and sprays, yet they are little used in places where malaria is common. The team asked household heads what they know, feel, and do about repellents, and what drives use or non-use.
Most people had heard of repellents and viewed them in a good light, but steady use was very low. Many did not know if the products were safe for young children or for pregnant women, and cost was a key block. Older heads and large households used them less, while more schooling and good attitudes raised use. People also said they would prefer natural options over made ones.
