Responses for all household members Incidence of self-reported fever episodes (%) in the month prior to round 1 Incidence of self-reported fever episodes (%) in the month prior to round 2 RD (%) of self-reported fever episodes (95% CI for RD) p-value
All household members (N = 1229) 4.2 1.5 2.7 (1.4; 4.0) <0.001*
Incidence of self-reported fever by ASAQ-CP adherence

  Household members < = 5 years old (N = 185) 6.5 1.1 5.4 (1.6; 9.2) 0.006*
