Malaria control in school children

Principal Investigator(s): 
Simon Brooker

The risks and severity of clinical outcomes following exposure to P. falciparum increase among older children as transmission intensity declines. Malaria control in Africa has focused on pre-school children and pregnant women over the last decade, but as transmission intensity declines school aged children will become an important clinical risk group. As a result of a historical pre-school prevention focus, we have shown that children aged 5-19 years have the lowest ITN use in any community and thus pose a threat to universal coverage targets and abilities to reduce local transmission. Our group have undertaken randomized-controlled and plausibility trials of malaria prevention among school children, notably IPTsc and the delivery of ITN to school children in hard-to-reach areas.

Improving the surveillance of paediatric malaria in Kenya & Uganda

Principal Investigator(s): 
Emelda Aluoch Okiro

With the onset of a rapidly changing malaria risk pattern in many parts of Kenya it has become important to establish reliable information on the changes in the epidemiology of disease presenting to health facilities and hospitals. Routine data are inadequate to describe a changing clinical epidemiology, subject as they are to vagaries of incomplete data and poor diagnostics. Prospective hospital and clinic surveillance systems using simplified screening tools, universal parasitological investigations and modern information transfer technology are required. These will be established at various sites across Kenya in collaboration with national research partners between 2010 and 2015.

Improving delivery of evidence based care for severely ill children

Full Title: 
Improving the delivery of evidence based care for severely ill children at district level in Kenya
Principal Investigator(s): 
Mike English

This project involves taking forward an ambitious research agenda with partners in Kenya's Ministry of Health, its medical schools and international collaborators including the World Health Organisation, The Centre for Health Policy, University of Witswatersrand and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. Research is framed around a 3 year, randomised controlled study of an intervention programme to introduce evidence based care in child and newborn health in government hospitals and involves a multidisciplinary team comprising medical researchers, social scientists and economists.
