Table 4.
Malaria knowledge score* (and standard deviation) by programme status and type of outlet
| Informed outlets (n = 101) | Control outlets (n = 151) | All outlets (n = 252) | p-value** | |
| Shop/Kiosk | 8.8 | 7.0 | 7.7 | .000 |
| (1.6) | (1.6) | (1.9) | ||
| Pharmacy/Chemist | 8.6 | 7.5 | 8.2 | .000 |
| (1.1) | (1.5) | (1.4) | ||
| Clinic | 7.8 | 7.6 | 7.7 | .685 |
| (1.6) | (1.4) | (1.5) | ||
| Total | 8.7 | 7.1 | 7.6 | .000 |
| (1.5) | (1.6) | (1.8) |
*The score was based on a 10-question true/false quiz administered to each outlet, with 10 as maximum score. The questions focused malaria treatment practices, such as whether sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) is more effective than chloroquine, whether SP is too strong for children, whether SP is a single-dose treatment, etc. **From ANOVA F-test.
