Summary
This study tests whether giving school children preventive malaria medicine can reduce infections not only in them but also in younger siblings at home. About 1,000 students in rural Malawi will receive either one of two drug combinations or no preventive treatment. Researchers will track malaria, anemia, and school performance to see if this approach works.
