Double defense: malaria drugs plus nutrition supplements tested to shield kids

NCT ID NCT06599593

Summary

This study tests whether adding a nutritional supplement to an existing malaria prevention program can better protect young children in Burkina Faso. During the rainy season when malaria risk is high and food is scarce, researchers are giving some children a peanut-based nutritional paste along with their monthly malaria medicine. They want to see if this combined approach reduces both malaria infections and malnutrition compared to malaria medicine alone.
