MALARIA, SECONDARY
This analysis draws on a large multidimensional dataset describing uptake of community-based services (intervention recipients) and delivery of services (intervention providers) in the context of a cluster randomised implementation trial, thereby allowing us to examine the strengths and shortcomings of the intervention by triangulating data from two unique perspectives.These data were from a representative population sample which includes respondents who were successfully reached with the intervention as well as those who were not tested for malaria before taking antimalarials and may require alternative approaches in order to achieve adequate coverage of diagnostic testing before treatment with antimalarials.As a secondary analysis of trial data, we were limited in the scope of the data available and not able to fully explore the interaction between the community health workers and households nor the complex determinants of health-seeking behaviour.
