Use and acceptability of insecticide treated clothing among rubber plantation workers in Myanmar

Objectives

The primary objective of this study was to determine preference and acceptability of insecticide-treated clothing (ITC) by rubber tappers for nighttime work.

The secondary objectives were to investigate user perceptions related to ITC use to inform future social marketing or ITC distribution programmes; to investigate whether preference and acceptability changes over a 3-month period; to conduct a costing analysis of ITC; and to assess the bio-efficacy of ITC worn by rubber tappers.
