  2. RESEARCH TITLE : THE INFLUENCE OF ENVIRONMENTAL RISK FACTORS AND INDIVIDUAL BEHAVIOURS ON MALARIA OCCURRENCE IN LAHAD DATU DISTRICT OF SABAH: A CASE CONTROL STUDY.

  3. CONTENTS Introduction Literature Review Research Justification Objectives Hypothesis Methodology Results & Discussion Conclusion & Recommendations References

  4. Introduction • Recorded as early as 2700 BC in China (Cox 2002). • “Mala aria” – bad air • Vector-borne disease caused by protozoan parasites • Caused by Plasmodium spp. • Transmitted by female Anopheles mosquitoes • Infection may results in wide variety of symptoms • Uncomplicated malaria • Severe malaria • Curable disease if • Diagnosed and treated promptly and correctly

  5. Magnitude of problem • Worldwide (WHO 2008) • Lived at high risk area – half of human population • 300 millions infected • 1 million death • Malaysia • Decreasing trend since 1996 • IR (M’sia) 2.67/10 000 (2004) • IR (Sabah) 9.56/ 10 000 (2004) • IR (Lahad Datu) 20.4/10 000 (2008)

  6. Literature review • Lansang et al. (1997) study showed that the risk of malaria is higher in person worked in high risk occupation. • CHESTRAD (2000) study showed that low household income is associated with higher risk of malaria infection. • Tedros et al. (2000) and Koram et al. (1994) suggested that individual without car or refrigerator more likely to suffer from malaria. • Guthmann et al. (2001) showed individual with formal education more than primary level less likely to get malaria.

  7. Literature review • Tedros et al. (2000) study showed low risk perception towards malaria more likely to have high risk of malaria disease. • Usage of repellant, mosquito coil or aerosol spray found to reduced risk of severe malaria (Snow et al. 1998). • Several studies have suggested that the usage of insecticide-treated bednets able to reduce the incidence of malaria (Binka et al. 1996 & Alexander et al. 2005). • Konradsen et al. (2003) showed house sprayed with indoor residual spray was a protective factor for malaria infection.

  8. Literature review • Incardona et al. (2007) showed association between history of movement to the jungle with malaria infection. • House located >500 m from forest fringe is protective factor towards malaria (Brooker et al. 2004) • Water bodies provide suitable habitat for malaria vector thus increase risk of infection (Guthmann et al. 2002) • Konradsen et al. (2003) suggest house built without good structure and design will increase risk of malaria.

  9. Research justification Sabah highest malaria case contributor in Malaysia The incidence of malaria is high in Lahad Datu Justifications Analytical study to determine the association between environmental & individual factors and malaria is rarely done lately (none in LD)

  10. Conceptual framework

  11. Objectives • General • To identify the association between environmental risk factors, risk perception and individual behaviours with malaria infection in Lahad Datu district of Sabah. • Specific • To determine the association between socioeconomic status, risk perception, and individual movement and preventive behaviours with malaria infection in Lahad Datu. • To determine the association between environmental factors (presence of potential breeding sites and house’ structure and design) and malaria in Lahad Datu.

  12. Methodology DESIGN STUDY TOOLS Case (Vekpro) Interviewed using a structured Q Analysis Results Inclusion and Exclusion Approved Study Discussion & Conclusion Control No. of cases = 166 No. of controls = 166 End

  13. Area of study Land Below the Wind

  14. Sample size • Based on Hennekens et al. (1987)

  15. Individual • behaviours • Preventive • Movement Sociodemographic & Socioeconomic status Questionnaires • Environmental • risk factors • House location • House design • &structure Risk perception (12 Q) BSMP status Cut off point = 9 (75%) Pretested in OPD LD (Dec 07) Chronbach α= 0.73

  16. Data analysis • Analyzed using • SPSS version 12.0 • McNemar on-line calculator (Graphpad) • Statistical analysis • Descriptive analysis • Bivariate analysis • Conditional logistic regression

  17. Results & Discussion

  18. Results: Demographic features

  19. Association of study variables with Malaria 1. Type of occupation • Type of occupation was found to be associated with malaria. • High risk occupation more likely to get malaria infection. • Earlier studies support this association (Lansang, 1997; Chang 1997 ; Honrado & Fungladda 1994)

  20. Association of study variables with Malaria 2. Risk perception score • Risk perception score was found associated with malaria infection. • Consistent with the studies by Tedros et al. (2000) and Onwujekwe et al. (2000) • Level of education associated with risk perception scores (OR 45; 95% CI 18-108) • Risk perception influenced by many factors.

  21. Association of study variables with Malaria 3. Indoor residual spray • Respondents lived in a house with no IRS done are at higher risk of malaria infection compared to those lived in a house sprayed with insecticide. • Consistent with studies by Guthmann et al. (2001) and Konradsen et al. (2003)

  22. Association of study variables with Malaria 4. History of movement • History of movement in the last two weeks was found to be associated with malaria. • Consistent with studies by Honrado & Fungladda (1994) & Singhanetra-Renard (1986) • Frequency, duration, place and purpose of movement were insignificant.

  23. Conclusion • Type of occupation, risk perception, indoor residual spray activity and history of movement in the last two weeks are risk factors for malaria infection in Lahad Datu district.

  24. Recommendations • Improve risk perception amongst community • Strengthen health education and promotion • Preventive measures when doing high risk jobs or moving into high risk area • IRS as method of choice in malaria control measures in oil palm plantations/estates • ex; Hiring private company
