Summary

This study tests two different malaria prevention medicines in 1,000 school children in rural Malawi. The goal is to see if giving preventive treatment to students can reduce malaria infections and anemia in the children themselves, and also lower the spread of malaria to younger kids living in their homes. The study compares the two treatments against standard care (no preventive medicine).
