Article Synopsis
- * A study conducted a telephone survey of 150 caregivers in Nigeria to examine factors influencing their acceptance of malaria management services from trained healthcare providers, which involved descriptive and logistic regression analyses to identify significant correlations.
- * Results showed that 68% of caregivers reported their child was tested for malaria, and 89% received Artemisinin Combination Therapy (ACT), with higher acceptance rates noted among caregivers of older children and those whose healthcare providers prescribed ACT.
Background: We describe how High Impact Practices (HIPs) in family planning (FP) were adapted across Kenya, Nigeria, and Zimbabwe to maintain access to services in response to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic.
Methods: Using a qualitative data collection tool structured around 3 HIP categories (service delivery, demand creation, and enabling environment), adaptations in FP programs during the pandemic were documented. We describe adaptations made to 3 specific HIPs: mobile outreach, community health workers, and digital health for social and behavior change.
