Brief Summary:
The Odisha State Malaria Control Program India has introduced malaria camps where teams of health workers visit villages to educate the population enhance vector control with long-lasting insecticide nets LLINs and indoor residual spraying IRS and perform village-wide screening with rapid diagnostic tests and treatment for malaria The long-term goal of this project is to evaluate the effectiveness of malaria camps MCs by determining if they reduce malaria and to characterize malaria transmission in MCs
Detailed Description:
The persistently high malaria burden in the remote forested areas of Odisha India has led to the introduction of malaria camps by the Odisha State Malaria Control Program where teams of health workers visit villages to educate the population enhance vector control with long-lasting insecticide nets LLINs and indoor residual spraying IRS and perform village-wide screening with rapid diagnostic tests and treatment for malaria The camps appear to be very effective but this is hard to assess in the context of ongoing changes such as LLIN introduction The long-term goal of this project is to evaluate the effectiveness of malaria camps MCs by determining if they reduce malaria and to characterize malaria transmission in MCs The major objective to achieve this is through a quasi-experimental study ie pretest-post-test control group design of the effectiveness of the intervention to determine if MCs reduce the prevalence of clinical and asymptomatic malaria as detected by PCR In the first year villages will be assigned across three study arms arm 1 to receive new MCs arm 2 is a control with no MCs but with standard malaria control and arm 3 consists of villages already in receipt of MCs to study longer term effects In the second year both arm 1 and arm 2 villages will receive the intervention ie a non-randomized stepped-wedge design MC effectiveness will be evaluated from epidemiologic surveys and PCR detection of malaria prevalence with and without MCs
