Baseline and follow-up malaria parasite prevalence among children 1–59 months of age, as measured by the baseline and follow-up household surveys during the peak malaria transmission season
| Malaria parasite prevalence in children 1–59 months of age | Baseline (2012) | Follow-up (2013) | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| n | RDT Positive | % (95% CI) | Crude odds ratio | n | RDT positive | % (95% CI) | Crude odds ratio | |
| Intervention | 585 | 202 | 34.5 (26.0–44.2) | 0.84 (0.61–1.16) | 513 | 150 | 29.2 (19.6–41.2) | 0.53 (0.41–0.68)* |
| Control | 226 | 87 | 38.5 (24.5–54.7) | 511 | 225 | 44.0 (34.8–53.8) | ||
RDT = rapid diagnostic test; CI = confidence interval.
Standard errors for crude odds ratios are unadjusted to account for cluster survey sampling.
