Development of a new wealth index for Tanzania: the moderated effect of the implementation of 1,7- malaria reactive community-based testing and response (1,7-mRCTR) by socioeconomic position (SEP) with malaria prevention
The wealth index effectively differentiated household socioeconomic status, revealing significant wealth-based disparities in malaria prevention behaviours. Importantly, the implementation of the 1,7-mRCTR approach appears to have had a disproportionately positive effect on poorer households, leading to a reduction in wealth-based inequalities related to key malaria prevention measures.
