Impact of school-based malaria case management on school attendance, health and education outcomes
Introduction Evidence indicates children who suffer from ill-health are less likely to attend or complete schooling. Malaria is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in school-age children. However, they are less likely to receive malaria treatment at health facilities and evidence for how to improve schoolchildren’s access to care is limited. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of a programme of school-based malaria case management o…
Cost analysis of a school-based comprehensive malaria program in primary schools in Sikasso region, Mali
A comprehensive school-based control strategy may be a feasible and affordable way to address the burden of malaria among schoolchildren in the Sahel
The usefulness of school-based syndromic surveillance for detecting malaria epidemics
School absenteeism is a plausible simple indicator of unusual health events within a community, such as malaria epidemics, but the sensitivity of an absenteeism-based surveillance system to detect epidemics could not be rigorously evaluated in this study. Further piloting during a demonstrated increase in malaria transmission within a community is recommended
A systematic analysis of global anemia burden from 1990 to 2010
Key Points Anemia accounted for 8.8% of the total disability from all conditions in 2010. Children
Years lived with disability (YLDs) for 1160 sequelae of 289 diseases and injuries 1990–2010
Disability-adjusted life years (Dalys) for 291 diseases and injuries in 21 regions, 1990–2010
The use of insecticide treated nets by age
In malaria-endemic Africa, school-aged children are the least protected with ITNs but represent the greatest reservoir of infections. With increasing school enrollment rates, school-delivery of ITNs should be considered as an approach to reach universal ITNs coverage and improve the likelihood of impacting upon parasite transmission
Soil-transmitted helminth infections
Anaemia in schoolchildren in eight countries in Africa and Asia
Objective To report on the haemoglobin concentrations and prevalence of anaemia in schoolchildren in eight countries in Africa and Asia. Design Blood samples were collected during surveys of the health of schoolchildren as a part of programmes to develop school-based health services. Setting Rural schools in Ghana, Indonesia, Kenya, Malawi, Mali, Mozambique, Tanzania and Vietnam. Subjects Nearly 14 000 children enrolled in basic education in thre…
