A three-arm cluster-randomised trial of IRS (Actellic 300CS) or spatial emanators (SC Johnson Guardian) versus no intervention in the context of standard practice (existing student-supplied ITNs) for prevention of clinical malaria in Ugandan boarding schools.
REFNo: HS8553ES
Objectives
Primary objective
To compare the effectiveness of Indoor Residual Spraying (IRS) with Actellic 300CS and the SC Johnson Guardian Spatial Emanator (SE) at reducing the incidence of confirmed clinical malaria among boarders in Ugandan boarding schools, relative to existing standard practice (student-supplied ITNs).
Secondary objective
To estimate the cost-effectiveness of each intervention strategy from the provider (NMED / MOH)
perspective as the primary perspective and the societal perspective as a secondary perspective.
Additional measures
1. Malaria-attributable absenteeism (school-days lost);
2. Indoor vector density and species composition;
3. Acceptability and operational ease of IRS and Guardian
