A hybrid effectiveness-implementation study to assess the effectiveness and chemoprevention efficacy of implementing seasonal malaria chemoprevention in five districts in Karamoja region, Uganda
REFNo: HS2212ES

5) To monitor the safety and torelabilty of DP as compared to SPAQ among children 6-59 months in Karamoja when used in SMC,4) To understand the SMC implementation model, determining process, costing and acceptability outcomes for the intervention,3) To investigate the presence and change of SPAQ and DP resistance markers over time as a result of SMC implementation ,2) To determine chemoprevention efficacy of SPAQ and DP when used for SMC in Karamoja region, Uganda, and the extent to which efficacy is impacted by drug resistance and/or drug concentrations. ,1) To determine the effectiveness of SMC with DP and SPAQ in terms of its reduction in incidence of malaria infection among children aged 3–59 months,Phase 2 of this study aims to test the feasibility, effectiveness and chemoprevention efficacy of SMC with SPAQ and DP in Karamoja region in Uganda, where malaria transmission is highly seasonal, and inform malaria policy in Uganda. Accelerated adoption and scale-up of SMC will support efforts to accelerate progress in malaria control in high-burden countries.,
