Resources: Presentation :
A cluster randomised controlled non-inferiority trial to assess the protective effectiveness of SPAQ and DP for SMC among children 3–59 months, in the context of high parasite resistance, Karamoja region
Sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine plus amodiaquine (SPAQ) and dihydroartemisinin piperaquine (DP) were both highly effective at preventing clinical malaria in eligible children during the high transmission…

Resistance markers to sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine and amodiaquine in the context of seasonal malaria chemoprevention in Burkina Faso
Sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine and amodiaquine remain effective after eight years of SMC implementation in Burkina Faso.
-
Resources: Poster :
Analysing age-related trends in routine data through transmission modelling during seasonal malaria chemoprevention in Burkina Faso
Age-related variations in routine data can be attributed to non-malarial fevers and treatment-seeking behaviours, which mask the impact of seasonal malaria chemoprevention.
-
Resources: Poster :
Development and evaluation of a novel protocol to assess the efficacy of seasonal malaria chemoprevention using sulfadoxine, pyrimethamine and amodiaquine in an area of high drug resistance in Nampula, Mozambique
Seasonal malaria chemoprevention with SPAQ is preventing clinical disease but is not preventing new sub-patent infections over 28 days despite therapeutic drug levels, suggesting prevention of…

Resources: Poster :
The impact of seasonal malaria chemoprevention on Plasmodium falciparum resistance to sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine and amodiaquine in northern Mozambique
Monitoring resistance markers is essential as Mozambique expands seasonal malaria chemoprevention and introduces new chemoprevention strategies.

Resources: Poster :
The role of community distributors in ensuring the quality delivery of seasonal malaria chemoprevention in Nigeria
Directly observed treatment practised by community distributors is critical for the quality delivery of seasonal malaria chemoprevention.
-
Resources: Poster :
Assessing coverage and quality of seasonal malaria chemoprevention before and during scale-up in Uganda
Seasonal malaria chemoprevention was successfully scaled up in the Karamoja region of Uganda, a new geographical context, achieving good coverage and quality.
-
Resources: Poster :
Assessing age compliance during seasonal malaria chemoprevention in nine states in Nigeria
The administration of seasonal malaria chemoprevention medicines to age-ineligible children is common. Understanding associated causes will enhance the quality of programmes.

Resources: Poster :
Health-seeking behaviours and beliefs surrounding malaria in three East and southern African geographies introducing seasonal malaria chemoprevention: A secondary qualitative analysis
Context-specific data on health-seeking behaviours and beliefs surrounding malaria should be used to strengthen community engagement and health messaging.
-
Resources: Poster :
Quasi-experimental study to estimate the effectiveness of seasonal malaria chemoprevention in South Sudan
In South Sudan, seasonal malaria chemoprevention reduced malaria in children during the high transmission season, despite potential high levels of resistance.
-
Resources: Poster :
Exploring community perceptions on the feasibility and acceptability of seasonal malaria chemoprevention
The commitment and trust of community health workers increase the feasibility and acceptability of seasonal malaria chemoprevention.
-
Resources: Poster :
Perceived factors impacting community health workers and lead mothers’ capacity to support seasonal malaria chemoprevention across delivery settings: Qualitative secondary analysis from recent studies in Mozambique, Nigeria, South Sudan and Uganda
Challenges in access, community sensitisation, workload and context can affect community health workers and lead mothers’ ability to support SMC campaigns.

Resources: Poster :
Assessing the impact of extending seasonal malaria chemoprevention from four to five monthly cycles in Burkina Faso
Extending seasonal malaria chemoprevention from four to five cycles was associated with further reductions in malaria incidence and deaths in Burkina Faso.
-
Resources: Poster :
Assessing coverage and quality of seasonal malaria chemoprevention in previously untreated areas of Mozambique
Routinely monitoring SMC coverage and quality can identify areas for improvement, particularly in previously untreated areas.
