This study investigated the potential circular relationship between mosquito net ownership and under-five mortality in Uganda. The study used 2011 Uganda DHS data to analyze whether households were more likely to own nets after experiencing an under-five death, through a logistic regression adjusting for covariates. The results showed no association between past death and net ownership, suggesting the circular effect does not impact estimates of the relationship between net ownership and mortality risk. However, this circular relationship should still be accounted for in analyses.
