Abstract
The Government of Kenya is interested in understanding how malaria prevention and treatment can improve the education of schoolchildren when it is combined with effective teaching. This project examines the impact of school-based malaria intermittent screening and treatment and enhanced literacy training/support for teachers on children's health and educational outcomes. One hundred and one government primary schools in Kwale and Msambweni districts were randomly assigned to one of four experimental groups: some schools have been tested and treated for malaria; some schools have had extra support for teachers of English and Swahili; some schools have been both tested for malaria and received extra teacher support; and other schools have gotten neither of the two programs. In January-February 2010, children from classes 1 and 5 were randomly selected within each school and have been followed up for two years. A nested process evaluation, using semi-structured interviews, focus group discussion and a stakeholder analysis are used to investigate the community acceptability, feasibility and cost-effectiveness of the interventions. The endline survey is to be completed by December 2011.
Documented here are the following baseline surveys and assessments completed in 2009-2010:
1) Parents/guardians survey;
2) Schools survey;
3) Baseline health assessment in children.
