The 2016 Liberia Malaria Indicator Survey (LMIS) is a nationwide survey with a nationally representative sample of approximately 4,500 households. The survey provides information on key malaria control indictors, such as the proportion of households having at least one bed net and at least one insecticide-treated net (ITN).
The primary objective of the 2016 Liberia Malaria Indicator Survey (LMIS) was to provide up-to-date estimates of basic demographic and health indicators for malaria. Specifically, the LMIS collected information on vector control interventions such as mosquito nets and indoor residual spraying of insecticides, on intermittent preventive treatment of malaria in pregnant women, and on care seeking and treatment of fever in children. Also, young children were tested for malarial infection and anaemia.
The information collected through the LMIS is intended to assist policy makers and program managers in designing and evaluating programs and strategies for improving the health of the country’s population.
