Description
Charles Natuhamya and five co-authors study malaria messaging in Uganda in a 2026 survey analysis. Malaria still kills many in low-resource settings, and Uganda carries a large share. Health messages go out over radio, print, and other channels, but reach stays patchy.
Using a national survey of 7,124 women aged fifteen to forty-nine, the team scored knowledge of four prevention methods. Bed nets were widely known, while treated nets, preventive medicine, and indoor spraying were known by fewer than one in ten. Hearing messages on more channels tied to better knowledge of the lesser-known methods, but not of bed nets. Schooling, age, and wealth also mattered.
