【Abstract】 Objective To assess the situation and influence factors of insecticide treatment bed net(ITN) in Yunnan malaria endemic areas and provide the measures for generalization of ITN. Methods Cross survey was used among 47 counties of Yunnan malaria endemic areas by multi?stages sampling method. Results There were 8.68% of households with ITN. The use of bed net was influenced by economic status, gender, marriage, education level, attitude to the use of ITN, malaria transmission knowledge and preventive knowledge analyzed by logistic regression analysis. Conclusion It should pay more attention to the population from poor families, woman, single and illiterate during the promotion of ITN. The use of ITN could be promoted by the transmission of malaria transmission route and preventive measures.
