Intermittent preventive treatment for malaria in infants: a decision-support tool for sub-Saharan Africa

Intermittent preventive treatment for malaria in infants: a decision-support tool for sub-Saharan Africa

OBJECTIVE: To develop a decision-support tool to help policy-makers in sub-Saharan Africa assess whether intermittent preventive treatment in infants (IPTi) would be effective for local malaria control. METHODS: An algorithm for predicting the effect of IPTi was developed using two approaches. First...
