Effect of knowledge of sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) as prophylaxis for malaria on its uptake for intermittent preventive treatment of malaria in pregnancy (IPTp): Application of inverse probability weighted regression adjustment (IPWRA) technique
Ensuring covariate balance while applying IPWRA resulted in more precise estimates of treatment effects. Programmes and policies that create awareness of using SP as malaria prophylaxis may serve as effective interventions towards SP-IPTp in Uganda.
