  1. Analysis of factors associated with malaria was adjusted by participant gender, occupation of the participant, age and gender of the household head, wealth index, LLIN use, outdoor sleeping, presence of stagnant water outside the house, presence of bushes/overgrown vegetation outside the house. Goodness of fit test: Hosmer–Lemeshow, chi2(4) = 11.11, p = 0.0253. BIC = − 994.099, AIC = 1.222, AUC = 0.7253
