Abstract

Objective: This study sort to investigate the predictors of insecticide treated nets utilization among
pregnant women in Ikenne LGA Ogun State, Nigeria.
Methodology: This study employed descriptive cross-sectional design guided by Information
Behavioral Skill model. Simple random sampling technique was used to select 250 respondents. A
validated semi-structured questionnaire with Cronbach’s alpha of 0.78 to 0.79 was used to collect
data. Frequency table, mean, standard deviation correlation, multiple and binary logistic regression
analysis were conducted to give statistical responses to the research question and hypotheses using
SPSS version 23.
Results: The respondent’s level of information on ITN use was 7.85 ±1.75. Majority (91.6%) had
high level of information on ITN. Motivation to ITN use was moderately high with a mean of
18.96±4.62. Less than half (46.8%) strongly agree that they were motivated using ITN. The
behavioral skill was moderately high with a mean of 12.4±4.57. Most (76%) of them reported that

3.86±1.51. Majority (86.6%) reported that they slept under ITN last night. There was a significant
relationship between’ level of information (r=0.260; p=0.000), motivation (r=0.246; p=0.000),
behavioral skills (r=0.643; p=0.000) and utilization of ITN.
