Use of ITNs Percent who slept under an ITN the night before the survey among all households Percent who slept under an ITN the night before the survey among households with at least one ITN Among all households in Myanmar, 16% of households had all household members sleeping under an ITN the night before the survey. Net use is slightly higher among children under age 5 and pregnant women—the groups most at risk from malaria. Owning a net does not automatically mean families use it.
