MALARIA, INFECTION, HAND INFECTION
Epidemiological metrics are essential for a comprehensive evaluation of interventions and for those interventions to receive a recommendation from the WHO. In this high transmission setting, malaria case incidence and infection prevalence were similarly reduced in the SET intervention clusters, highlighting the usefulness of this intervention combination to reduce malaria transmission in this setting. Whilst the incidence measures collect interesting information regarding the differential impact over season and are likely the most useful metric in low transmission settings, infection prevalence may be a good option for more cheaply evaluating new products where transmission is moderate to high.
