This study tested the effectiveness of two service delivery models for reducing the malaria burden, e.g. supportive supervision of community health workers (CHW) and community mobilization in promoting appropriate health-seeking behaviour for febrile illnesses in Odisha, India. The study population comprised 120 villages from two purposively chosen malaria-endemic districts, with 40 villages randomly assigned to each of the two treatment arms, one with both supportive supervision and community mobilization and one with community mobilization alone, as well as an observational control arm. Outcome measures included changes in the utilization of bed nets and timely care-seeking for fever from a trained provider compared to the control group. Analysis was by intention-to-treat. 2015-11-25T18:33:59Z 2015-11-25T18:33:59Z 2014-12-08 Journal Article Malaria Journal http://hdl.handle.net/10986/23145 en_US CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank BioMed Central Publications & Research Publications & Research :: Journal Article South Asia India
