Kemri-Wellcome Trust Research Programme: Cost-effectiveness, acceptability, and sustainability of malaria prevention inKenyan schools.

The proposed research aims to investigate the costs, cost-effectiveness, acceptability and sustainability of intermittent screening and treatment (IST) of asymptomatic malaria cases in schools in Kenya. The first goal is to estimate the financial and economic costs of the strategy using an ingredients approach to estimate the financial and economic costs, with costs divided into start-up/capital and recurrent costs. The second goal is to model the incremental cost-effectiveness of IST in comparison to alternative school- based strategies. The final goal involves undertaking qualitative research to investigate the community acceptability of the intervention and identify key assumptions and conditions underlying countrywide scaling-up and sustainability of interventions, including organization and technical capacity of the government at national and local levels.
