Access to malaria diagnosis and treatment in Zambia in the context of scaling-up community case management
Open AccessZhiyuan Mao, Adam Bennett et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026
Community case management has been scaled up nationally in Zambia over the last decade. However, there is limited evidence on how this nationwide implementation has affected febrile patients’ access to malaria diagnosis and treatment in Zambia. This study analyzed four rounds of Malaria Indicator Survey (MIS) data (2012–2021) to evaluate: 1) proportion of all-ages individuals with fever who sought treatment from a formal provider, 2) proportion o…
Estimating malaria chemoprevention and vector control coverage using program and campaign data
Open AccessJohanna Nice, Honelgn Nahusenay et al.ARTICLEJournal of Global Health2020
BACKGROUND: Accurate estimation of intervention coverage is a vital component of malaria program monitoring and evaluation, both for process evaluation (how well program targets are achieved), and impact evaluation (whether intervention coverage had an impact on malaria burden). There is growing interest in maximizing the utility of program data to generate interim estimates of intervention coverage in the periods between large-scale cross-sectio…
Management of uncomplicated malaria among children under five years at public and private sector facilities in Mali
Open AccessSeydou Fomba, Diakalia Koné et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2020
Multiple limitations in management of febrile children under five were identified, including inconsistent use of confirmatory testing and apparent use of severe malaria drugs for uncomplicated malaria. While we cannot confirm the reasons for these shortcomings, there is a need to address the high use of non-ACT antimalarials in this context; to minimize potential for drug resistance, reduce unnecessary expense, and preserve life-saving treatment …
Evaluation of methods for linking household and health care provider data to estimate effective coverage of management of child illness
Open AccessEmily D Carter, Micky Ndhlovu et al.ARTICLEJournal of Global Health2018
BACKGROUND: Existing population-based surveys have limited accuracy for estimating the coverage and quality of management of child illness. Linking household survey data with health care provider assessments has been proposed as a means of generating more informative population-level estimates of effective coverage, but methodological issues need to be addressed. METHODS: A 2016 survey estimated effective coverage of management of child illness i…
Validation studies for population-based intervention coverage indicators
Open AccessMelinda Munos, Ann K Blanc et al.ARTICLEJournal of Global Health2018
BACKGROUND: Population-based intervention coverage indicators are widely used to track country and program progress in improving health and to evaluate health programs. Indicator validation studies that compare survey responses to a "gold standard" measure are useful to understand whether the indicator provides accurate information. The Improving Coverage Measurement (ICM) Core Group has developed and implemented a standard approach to validating…
Validity of maternal report of care-seeking for childhood illness
Open AccessEmily D Carter, Micky Ndhlovu et al.ARTICLEJournal of Global Health2018
BACKGROUND: Accurate data on care-seeking for child illness are needed to improve public health programs and reduce child mortality. The accuracy of maternal report of care-seeking for child illness as collected through household surveys has not been validated. METHODS: A 2016 survey compared reported care-seeking against a gold-standard of health care provider documented care-seeking events among a random sample of mothers of children <5 years i…
The effect of malaria control on Plasmodium falciparum in Africa between 2000 and 2015
Open AccessSamir Bhatt, D J Weiss et al.ARTICLENature2015
Since the year 2000, a concerted campaign against malaria has led to unprecedented levels of intervention coverage across sub-Saharan Africa. Understanding the effect of this control effort is vital to inform future control planning. However, the effect of malaria interventions across the varied epidemiological settings of Africa remains poorly understood owing to the absence of reliable surveillance data and the simplistic approaches underlying …

Determinants of hanging and use of ITNs in the context of near universal coverage in Zambia
Open AccessKate Macintyre, Megan Littrell et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2012References: 21
Roll Back Malaria recently recommended a policy of universal coverage with insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) so that all age groups can benefit from protection against malaria. Countries adopting the 'universal access' policy include Zambia. Policy implementation in many settings involves mass distribution of free ITNs to achieve a measure of universal coverage. This study examines ITN deployment and use in the context of mass distribution efforts …

Health system barriers to strengthening vaccine-preventable disease surveillance and response in the context of decentralization
Open AccessDavid R Hotchki, David R Hotchkiss et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2006
To strengthen surveillance and response systems in Georgia, as well as in other countries, donor, governments, and other stakeholders should consider how health systems factors influence investments to improve the availability of data, analysis, and response. Linking the intervention to broader health sector reforms in management processes and organizational culture will be critical to ensure that efforts designed to promote evidence-based decisi…
