    Abstract
    Malaria epidemic is still worrying especially in Sub-Saharan Africa where it accounts for over 50% of all malaria cases worldwide with Uganda alone contributing 5% making it the thirds country with the largest number of malaria cases worldwide. This study assessed determinants of malaria prevention and control among people in Lango region using 2016 UDHS data considering 6299 household members. Analysis was done in STATA at univariate, bivariate and multivariate. Results showed that a considerate percentage (18%) of the members their households did not have any mosquito net and only 36% of the members their household dwelling was sprayed to prevent and kill mosquitos. At bivariate analysis, sex, and age of the household member, sex and ageof the household head, household size and wealth quintile were significantly associated with practice of malaria prevention and control measures among household members. At multivariate analysis using binary logistic regression, sex, age and education level of the household member, sex of the household head, household size and household wealth quintilewere significantly associated with practice of malaria prevention and control measures among household members where male household members, those that were aged 5 years and above, those that did not attain any formal education, members from female headed households, households with over 4 members and from poorest households were less likely to sleep under treated mosquito bed net which most recommended measure of preventing and controlling malaria by World Health Organization. The researcher recommends for public sensitization by government and other stakeholders like NGOs about the malaria prevention and control measures in Lango region. There is also need for the government to provide more treated mosquito nets to household in Lango region especially the poor families in order to improve on their practice of malaria prevention and control
