Vaccine hesitancy has become the focus of growing attention and concern globally despite overwhelming evidence value vaccines in preventing disease saving lives millions individuals every year. Measuring vaccine its determinants worldwide is important order to understand scope problem for development evidence-based targeted strategies reduce hesitancy. Two indicators assess were developed capture nature at national subnational level collect data 2014: 1) The top 3 reasons not accepting...
Background In 2012, the WHO issued a policy recommendation for use of seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) to children 3–59 months in areas highly transmission. Clinical trials have found SMC prevent around 75% clinical malaria. Impact under routine programmatic conditions has been assessed during research studies but there is need identify sustainable methods monitor impact using routinely collected data. Methods Data from Demographic Health Surveys were merged with rainfall, geographical...
Abstract Aim Pneumonia is the leading infectious cause of death among children under five globally. Many pneumonia deaths result from inappropriate treatment due to misdiagnosis signs and symptoms. This study aims identify whether health extension workers (HEWs) in Ethiopia, using an automated multimodal device (Masimo Rad‐G), adhere required guidelines while assessing classifying with cough or difficulty breathing understand acceptability. Methods A cross‐sectional was conducted three...
Abstract Background Quality data from Health Management Information Systems (HMIS) are important for tracking the effectiveness of malaria control interventions. However, HMIS in many resource-limited settings do not currently meet standards set by World Organization (WHO). We aimed to assess quality and associated factors Chad. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted 14 health facilities Massaguet district. Data on children under 15 years were obtained external patient register...
ABSTRACT. Sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine plus amodiaquine is delivered to children aged 3–59 months as seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) in areas where transmission highly such Chad and other Sahelian countries. Although clinical trials show a 75% reduction cases, evidence of SMC’s impact at scale remains limited. Using data from the Chadian National Health Management Information System, we analyzed associations between SMC implementation during July–October monthly district-level incidence...
Malaria Consortium supports delivery of seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) to children ages 3-59 months using sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine plus amodiaquine. Lot quality assurance sampling (LQAS) was adapted as a cost-efficient method for end-of-cycle SMC monitoring surveys across supported countries and an implementation challenges reporting system established in Nigeria. We present case study its application Nasarawa State. LQAS facilitated timely local performance assessment 16...
Background The Community Dialogue Approach is a promising social and behaviour change intervention, which has shown potential for improving health seeking behaviour. To test if this approach can strengthen prevention control of schistosomiasis at community level, Malaria Consortium implemented intervention in four districts Nampula province, Mozambique, between August 2014 September 2015. Methodology/Principal findings Cross-sectional household surveys were conducted before (N = 791) after...
Seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) is a WHO-recommended intervention for children aged 3-59 months living in areas of high transmission to provide protection against during the rainy season. Operational guidelines were developed, based on WHO guidance, support countries mitigate risk coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) within communities and among community distributors when delivering SMC.A cross-sectional study determine adherence infection prevention control (IPC) measures two...
Abstract Aim Pneumonia is the leading cause of child death after neonatal period, resulting from late care seeking and inappropriate treatment. Diagnosis involves counting respiratory rate (RR); however, RR remains challenging for health workers miscounting, misclassification common. We evaluated usability a new automated counter, Philips Children's Respiratory Monitor (ChARM), to Female Community Health Volunteers (FCHVs), its acceptability FCHVs caregivers in Nepal. Methods A...
Abstract Background Seasonal Malaria Chemoprevention (SMC) is a highly effective intervention for preventing malaria, particularly in areas with seasonal transmission. Monitoring and evaluating (M&E) SMC programmes are complex due to the scale, time-sensitive delivery of programme, influence external factors. This paper describes process followed develop comprehensive M&E framework tailored specifically context. Methods The Framework was developed through literature programme review,...

Monitoring and evaluating (M&E) SMC programmes are complex due to the scale, time-sensitive delivery of programme, influence external factors. Here we present comprehensive M&E framework tailored specifically context. The Framework was developed through literature programme review, stakeholder dialogues across three...
