MALARIA
To investigate factors that might have influenced the success of the intervention, the analysis was divided into demand and supply factors. On the demand side, the analysis investigates factors that might influence the community member’s outcome of having a test, first from any source and then from the CHW. Only respondents with complete data on the variables of interest were included. On the supply side, the analysis investigates the factors associated with the testing output (ie, supply) at the CHW level, measured as the monthly number of tests conducted by each CHW. These factors include: sociodemographic characteristics of the CHW, number of households under the CHW’s care, years of experience of the CHW, the number of other activities the CHW engages in under their role as a CHW (under the assumption that an increasing number of activities may compete for their time, the CHW provided a list of activities and these were summed together), the perception of the intervention by the CHW, the skill of the CHW in conducting mRDTs and the overall prevalence of malaria in their community.
