Malaria Knowledge, Concern, Land Management, and Protection Practices among Land Owners and/or Managers in Lowland versus Highland Ecuador

Table 3

Summary of binary logistic regression results, comparing the use of a type of mosquito protection between genders (male = reference event) and altitude categories (below = reference event); what is currently used by the respondent versus what respondents state that they would use for travel to a region with confirmed cases of malaria (travel to region with confirmed malaria = reference event). Positive Z-scores indicate that the reference event (e.g., male, below 1500 m, in an area known to have malaria) were categories that provided the answer more often than the alternative (e.g., female, above 1500 m, what is used currently).

Factor	Odds ratio	C.I.+	C.I.−	Z	P
Gender (m)	0.88	1.43	0.54	−0.51	0.610
Altitude (b)	5.10	8.60	3.02	6.10	<0.001
Currently versus if known malaria (known malaria)	9.31	16.77	5.17	7.43	<0.001
Constant				0.14	0.888
