Background
Resistance of malaria vectors to pyrethroid insecticides has been attributed to selection pressure from long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs), indoor residual spraying (IRS), and the use of chemicals in agriculture. The…20/04/2017
Background
Resistance of malaria vectors to pyrethroid insecticides has been attributed to selection pressure from long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs), indoor residual spraying (IRS), and the use of chemicals in agriculture. The use of different classes of insecticides in combination or by…

Which activities supported the uptake of results from an operational research study that explored the barriers to achieving high coverage of intermittent preventive treatment for malaria in pregnancy in Uganda? This learning brief is particularly useful for researchers wishing to…
Background
To prevent malaria infection during pregnancy in endemic areas in Africa, the World Health Organization recommends the administration of intermittent preventive treatment in pregnancy (IPTp) as part of the focused…04/11/2016
Background
To prevent malaria infection during pregnancy in endemic areas in Africa, the World Health Organization recommends the administration of intermittent preventive treatment in pregnancy (IPTp) as part of the focused antenatal care package. However, IPTp uptake in most countries remains…
This research brief evaluates the uptake of intermittent preventive treatment in pregnancy (IPTp) in areas of medium or high malaria transmission. IPTp is typically provided as part of the focused…04/11/2016
This research brief evaluates the uptake of intermittent preventive treatment in pregnancy (IPTp) in areas of medium or high malaria transmission. IPTp is typically provided as part of the focused antenatal care model, yet various issues are hindering the effective…
This project aims to increase the uptake of intermittent preventive treatment in pregnancy (IPTp) to reduce the burden of malaria in pregnancy in Uganda. Based on formative research, a pilot…13/04/2015
This project aims to increase the uptake of intermittent preventive treatment in pregnancy (IPTp) to reduce the burden of malaria in pregnancy in Uganda. Based on formative research, a pilot intervention has been developed to address one of the key…
This project studied demand and supply side barriers to the uptake of intermittent preventive treatment in pregnancy (IPTp). Based on the findings of the formative research, an intervention was developed…12/11/2013
This project studied demand and supply side barriers to the uptake of intermittent preventive treatment in pregnancy (IPTp). Based on the findings of the formative research, an intervention was developed and piloted. The intervention is currently being evaluated to assess…
