Phase one of a hybrid effectiveness-implementation study to assess the feasibility, acceptability and effectiveness of implementing seasonal malaria chemoprevention in Nampula Province, Mozambique
Results suggest that SMC was effective at preventing clinical malaria, did not significantly impact resistance profile, and was feasible and acceptable in the context. Phase two will assess SMC impact in reducing malaria incidence and if chemoprevention efficacy of SPAQ is impacted by drug resistance and drug concentrations.
