Characteristics of healthcare workers and health facilities associated with inaccurate recording of malaria rapid diagnostic test results: a multi-country study
Misrecording of RDT results is influenced by a combination of individual, contextual, and systemic factors, with differing patterns for results misrecorded as positive and negative. Improving malaria surveillance will require interventions that address both HCW behaviour and broader facility- and system-level influences.
