Mixed effects negative binomial model with random intercept for malaria post and random slope for before and after
ICMW training. Seasonality captured using 3 Fourier terms per year
Pre-ICMW training period: 24 months; Post-ICMW training period: ≤ 16 months in Hlaingbwe, ≤ 24 months in Kawkareik, and ≤ 19 months in Myawaddy
RDT Rapid diagnostic test; ICMW Integrated community malaria worker; RR rate ratio; CI confidence interval
