Abstract
This study assessed the impact of regular monthly waste management
interventions on malaria incidence in rural communities of Nasarawa State,
Nigeria. A quasi-experimental design was employed, and data were collected from
406 households using a structured questionnaire. The results showed that
households with proper waste disposal practices had a lower malaria incidence
rate (27.3%) compared to those with improper disposal practices (53.8%).
Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that households with
improper waste disposal practices were 2.5 times more likely to experience
malaria incidence. The study's findings provide strong evidence for the
relationship between waste management practices and malaria incidence in rural
communities of Nasarawa State, Nigeria. The results highlight the importance of
regular monthly waste management interventions in reducing malaria incidence
and suggest that policymakers and healthcare professionals should prioritize
waste management interventions as a key component of malaria control strategies.
