HMIS = health management information systems.
Age standardized to age structure of cohort participants at recruitment.
Population of children younger than 11 years per site at mid-point of study duration, (average for months of March and April 2013).
Cases corrected for nonresidence within site boundaries among those with missing villages, as well as for test positivity among presumptive malaria cases.
Incidence rates were corrected for test positivity among presumptive cases and site nonresidence among missing villages.
