The use of video job-aids to improve the quality of seasonal malaria chemoprevention delivery. [PDF]

PLOS Digit 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

BMJ Open, 2020
Introduction Seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC), with sulphadoxine–pyrimethamine plus amodiaquine (SP+AQ) is effective but does not provide complete protection against clinical malaria.

Estimating the potential public health impact of seasonal malaria chemoprevention in African children [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2012
Seasonal malaria chemoprevention, previously known as intermittent preventive treatment in children, is highly effective in areas with a short malaria transmission season. Here we assess seasonality in malaria incidence data and define a predictor of seasonality based on rainfall.
