Understanding the barriers and facilitators related to never treatment during mass drug administration among mobile and migrant populations in Mali: a qualitative exploratory study
This study highlights that there are people with high mobility who may never have been treated during any round of MDA. The reasons for never treatment highlight the challenges faced when reaching particular groups during MDA activities/interventions. Suggested remedies will require programmes to implement more flexible and tailored interventions. Customised approaches based on the context are essential to guarantee fair access to preventive chemotherapy. Effective interventions must consider the supply and demand side in crafting interventions. This research adds to the evidence base to understand never treatment, particularly among highly mobile population groups and in schistosomiasis elimination programmes.
