To quantify the relative effectiveness, cost, and cost-effectiveness of fMDA and MDA with DHAp against no mass treatment for reducing P. falciparum parasite prevalence, confirmed OPD malaria case incidence and cohort infection incidence in areas of high and low malaria transmission and in a program-relevant manner that will permit adoption and adaptation for wider-scale deployment.
To quantify the relative effectiveness, cost, and cost-effectiveness of fMDA and MDA with DHAp against no mass treatment for reducing P. falciparum parasite prevalence, confirmed OPD malaria case incidence and cohort infection incidence in areas of high and low malaria transmission and in a program-relevant manner that will permit adoption and adaptation for wider-scale deployment.
In areas stratified by high and low malaria transmission, are 2 rounds of fMDA and MDA with DHAp more effective than no mass treatment (current standard of care) at reducing malaria parasite prevalence, health facility confirmed case incidence and community infection incidence over a 12 month period
The research objectives are:
The study population includes:
Population of ~560,000 people in ~112,000 households in 60 health facility catchment areas near Lake Kariba in Southern Province.
Cluster randomized controlled trial in high and low transmission areas will be used to evaluate the fMDA and MDA interventions against current standard of care for the effect on population-wide parasite prevalence (RDT and more sensitive assay), community cohort infection incidence and routinely collected confirmed malaria case incidence.
The primary outcomes are:
The entire population will be included in the study; interventions will be grouped/assigned randomly according to health facility catchment area (n= 60 health facilities), matched on potential confounding factors. Household surveys in the high transmission season before and after the interventions will be used for ascertaining malaria parasite prevalence. A longitudinal cohort will be used for ascertaining the infection incidence rate. The health system rapid reporting system will be used for ascertaining confirmed malaria case incidence.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| MDA with DHAp (Eurartesim) | Experimental | All consenting community members eligible to receive DHAp will be provided age-appropriate treatment dose of DHAp regardless of the malaria rapid diagnostic test (RDT) result. Treatment will be administered in a house-to-house campaign. |
|
| Focal MDA with DHAp (Eurartesim) | Experimental | All consenting household members eligible to receive DHAp and living in a household where anyone in the household tests positive with a malaria rapid diagnostic test (RDT) will receive the age-appropriate treatment dose of DHAp. If no one in the household tests RDT positive then no one in the household will receive DHAp. Treatment will be administered in a house-to-house campaign. |
|
| Standard of Care (Control) | No Intervention | The standard of care arm will reflect no community-based treatment interventions but will have the standard of care offered by the Ministry of Health and Ministry of Community Development, Mother and Child Health which applies to all arms. This includes available mosquito net coverage, indoor residual spraying and passive case detection of individuals seeking treatment from a health provider at a clinic or health post. |
