^¥Uadj = unadjusted effect size, adj = adjusted effect size for age, clustering and sex, CI = Confidence interval, ^£Difference of difference at 6 month = (follow up at six months minus baseline) intervention- (follow up at six months minus baseline) control, ^£Difference of difference at 12 month = (follow up at 12 months minus baseline) intervention- (follow up at12 months minus baseline) control. Negative value shows reduction of the respective outcome measures. LLITN = Long-lasting insecticide-treated bed nets
