摘要：

Background: In the Lao PDR, the incidence of malaria greatly differs among villages even within a subdistrict, and the reasons for this difference are poorly understood. The objective of this study was to identify differences in villagers' behavior and the household environment between villages with high incidences and those with low incidences of malaria in a rural district of the Lao PDR. Methods: A case-control study was conducted in Xepon district, Savannakhet province. Case villages were defined as those with a high incidence (> 10 cases per 1000 population per year), and control villages were those with a low incidence (0-10 cases per 1000 population per year). Data were collected from 178 households in the six case villages and six control villages between December 2016 and January 2017. The data collection consisted of an interview survey with the heads of households and an observational survey in and around the house. Logistic regression was used to assess the association between the case-control status and individual-level behavioral factors and household-level environmental factors adjusted for socio-demographic and economic factors. Results: Compared to the household members in the control villages, household members in the case villages were significantly more likely to work at night in the forest (adjusted odds ratio 1.95; 95% confidence interval 1.28 to 2.98) and more likely to sleep overnight in the forest (adjusted odds ratio 1.94; 95% confidence interval 1.13 to 3.33). Additionally, compared to the households in the control villages, households in the case villages were significantly more likely to have an open space on the house surface (adjusted odds ratio 3.64; 95% confidence interval 1.68 to 7.84). Conclusions: There were significant differences in nighttime working and sleeping behaviors in the forest and the presence of an open space on the house surface in the case versus control villages. These differences can partly explain the difference in the incidences of malaria among the villages. The Lao National Malaria Control Program should recommend that villagers use personal protection when working and sleeping in the forest and to reduce any open space on the house surfaces. © 2017 The Author(s).
