Effectiveness of seasonal malaria chemoprevention at scale in west and central Africa: an observational study

Seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) aims to prevent malaria in children during the high malaria transmission season. The Achieving Catalytic Expansion of SMC in the Sahel (ACCESS-SMC) project sought to remove barriers to the scale-up of SMC in seven countries in 2015 and 2016. We evaluated the project, including coverage, effectiveness of the intervention, safety, feasibility, drug resistance, and cost-effectiveness.

Rectal Artesunate Information Education and Communication Report (RAISEC)

This study intended to inform future programming in relation to the role that Information – Education – Communication (IEC) could play in enhancing this continuum of care.  It hypothesized that community exposure to targeted IEC would increase early presentation by the caregiver at the village health clinic (VHC) for Rectal Artesunate (RAS) and the caregiver acceptance of RAS; and that community health worker (CHW/HSA) exposure to a targeted toolkit would increase appropriate assessment, administration of RAS and referral, and in turn enhance prompt compliance with referral instructions among caregivers.
