Summary

This study tests whether giving preventive malaria drugs to school children can reduce malaria and anemia in those children, and also lower the spread of malaria to younger siblings at home. About 1,000 students in rural Malawi will receive either one of two drug combinations or no preventive treatment. The goal is to see if treating children can protect the entire community.
