The second-round evaluation of financial incentives on malaria prevalence in the Lake Victoria Basin, Kenya: updated study protocol for a cluster-randomized controlled trial
This study addresses the limitations of the first-round trial by increasing statistical power and refining the educational component. By evaluating the effectiveness of demand-side interventions, we aim to inform policy and program design for malaria control in high-burden settings. The resulting evidence on the role of demand-side factors will complement traditional supply-side approaches, ultimately refining future malaria control policies and programs. This research, thereby, has the potential to contribute to the development of sustainable, community-based strategies for malaria elimination. Trial registration UMIN000053284.
