ABSTRACT Malaria is a major public health problem especially in the African region. Globally about one million deaths occur annually as a result of malaria. In Uganda, malaria is highly endemic with 63% of the population exposed to high transmission. The main objective was: To determine the factors associated with malaria prevalence among pregnant women attending antenatal clinic at Kagadi hospital-Kibaale district. A descriptive cross sectional study design was used, simple random sampling method used to recruit 49 participants for the interview. The sample size was determined by Fisher’s method. A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect information from the participants. Results The results of the study indicated that socio demographic factors such as: maternal age, education, gravidity, and housing; health service factors such as: distance from the health facilities and availability of malaria treatment and individual factors such as: knowledge about malaria prevention, use of ITNs and uptake of IPTp by pregnant mothers were associated with malaria prevalence among pregnant women. Conclusion: The district has high malaria prevalence among pregnant women and therefore there is need for the district authorities to implement targeted interventions towards malaria prevention in Kagadi district.
