Weighted Plasmodium falciparum parasite prevalence according to the rapid diagnostic test and thick film microscopy among healthy children in northern Uganda

		Thick film microscopy		Total
		Negative	Positive
RDT	Negative	44.1% (n = 561)	1.1% (n = 12)	45.2% (n = 573)
	Positive	12.6% (n = 141)	42.3% (n = 429)	54.8% (n = 570)
	Total	56.6% (n = 702)	43.4% (n = 441)	100% (N = 1143) (Nweighted = 585,762)

Seven subjects who failed malaria testing were excluded from further analysis. The percentages in each cell are weighted back to the population of size 585,762; the numbers in parentheses are the numbers of individuals those percentages are based on
