Knowledge and utilization of malaria control measures by pregnant and newly delivered mothers in Ibadan, Nigeria.

Abstract

This study demonstrates awareness but poor use of control measures. Additionally, there is poor use of the recommended agent for IPT. The factors militating against the use of these preventive measures need to be urgently explored and addressed.
