Can treating school kids stop malaria for everyone?
NCT ID NCT06083688
Summary
This study is testing whether giving malaria prevention medicine to school children every six weeks during the rainy season can protect the children themselves and also reduce malaria infections in younger children living in their households. It involves 1,000 students in rural Malawi, comparing two different preventive drug combinations against standard care. The goal is to see if this approach can lower infection rates, prevent anemia, and potentially reduce malaria spread in the wider community.
