NCT ID NCT06808789
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will survey 32,000 households in Ghana and Rwanda to understand where snakebites happen most. Researchers will use GPS and computer models to create risk maps. The goal is to help health officials send antivenom to the areas that need it most and plan prevention efforts.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could create accurate risk maps to guide antivenom supplies and prevention programs in high-risk areas of sub-Saharan Africa.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. The risk maps may not perfectly predict snakebite locations, and results may not apply to other regions.
