Mosquito nets: The price of prevention

July 2014 ? Jessica Cohen, assistant professor of global health, sought an answer to the following: Would malaria-protecting mosquito nets gain wider usage if they were given away for free? Or would they be valued and used more if there was a charge for them?

Summary of video:

No evidence was found by a study that paying even a small amount for the nets made it more likely that the nets would be valued and used as intended. So giving them away for free will result in greater coverage with no downside.

Re: Mosquito nets: The price of prevention

the downside is the lack of money earned

maybe the Gates foundation can provide some


alternatively close doors and windows at night, after checking the room
or/and mosquito-traps

in some decades maybe small mosquito-hunting robot-helicopters ?
