The use of video job-aids to improve the quality of seasonal malaria chemoprevention delivery

PLOS Digital Health, 2022
Mobile phones are increasingly used in community health programmes, but the use of video job-aids that can be displayed on smart phones has not been widely exploited. We investigated the use of video job-aids to support the delivery of seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) in countries in West and Central Africa. The study was prompted by the need for

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

The Lancet, 2020
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.
