本研究的目的是调查新型监测工具在流行信息有限的疟疾流行地区的使用情况。具体而言，参与式流行病学在线报告用于直接从公众那里收集有关疟疾传播的信息。印度的个人被鼓励通过小额货币支付来自我报告他们最近的疟疾经历。有关疟疾诊断状态和相关信息的自我报告是通过亚马逊的 Mechanical Turk 在线征集的。受访者将获得 0.02 美元的报酬，以回答有关他们最近感染疟疾的经历的调查问题。将 2010 年每周自我报告疟疾诊断量峰值的时间与其他可用指标（例如一段时间内的数量以及来自媒体来源的有关流行病的信息）进行了比较。将疟原虫物种分布报告与文献值进行比较。该研究于 2010 年夏季孟买疟疾爆发期间进行，并于 2011 年夏季扩展到其他城市，并对 2010 年和 2011 年自我报告的患病率进行了对比。 2010 年通过自我报告诊断的疟原虫种类分布显示，59% 为间日疟原虫，这与印度间日疟原虫负担的文献报告相当（50% 至 69% 之间）。 2010 年爆发期间，自我报告的恶性疟原虫诊断率为 19%，估计负担在 10% 至 15% 之间。 2010 年至 2011 年间，孟买自我报告的患病率从 36.9% 大幅下降至 19.54%（p = 0.001），官方报告也证实 2011 年患病率有所下降。通过仔细的研究设计，小额货币激励和在线报告是获取疟疾以及其他潜在公共卫生信息的快速方法。这种方法提供了一种经济有效的实地研究方法，可以作为传统公共卫生监测方法的补充，提供了以比官方报告提供的更精细的分辨率获取有关疟疾活动、时间进展、受影响的人口统计或疟原虫特异性诊断的信息的机会。最近采用的技术（例如互联网）支持自我报告媒介，并且应继续研究自我报告，因为它可以促进预防性健康行为。
The objective of this study was to investigate the use of novel surveillance tools in a malaria endemic region where prevalence information is limited. Specifically, online reporting for participatory epidemiology was used to gather information about malaria spread directly from the public. Individuals in India were incentivized to self-report their recent experience with malaria by micro-monetary payments. Self-reports about malaria diagnosis status and related information were solicited online via Amazon's Mechanical Turk. Responders were paid $0.02 to answer survey questions regarding their recent experience with malaria. Timing of the peak volume of weekly self-reported malaria diagnosis in 2010 was compared to other available metrics such as the volume over time of and information about the epidemic from media sources. Distribution of Plasmodium species reports were compared with values from the literature. The study was conducted in summer 2010 during a malaria outbreak in Mumbai and expanded to other cities during summer 2011, and prevalence from self-reports in 2010 and 2011 was contrasted. Distribution of Plasmodium species diagnosis through self-report in 2010 revealed 59% for Plasmodium vivax, which is comparable to literature reports of the burden of P. vivax in India (between 50 and 69%). Self-reported Plasmodium falciparum diagnosis was 19% and during the 2010 outbreak and the estimated burden was between 10 and 15%. Prevalence between 2010 and 2011 via self-reports decreased significantly from 36.9% to 19.54% in Mumbai (p = 0.001), and official reports also confirmed a prevalence decrease in 2011. With careful study design, micro-monetary incentives and online reporting are a rapid way to solicit malaria, and potentially other public health information. This methodology provides a cost-effective way of executing a field study that can act as a complement to traditional public health surveillance methods, offering an opportunity to obtain information about malaria activity, temporal progression, demographics affected or Plasmodium-specific diagnosis at a finer resolution than official reports can provide. The recent adoption of technologies, such as the Internet supports self-reporting mediums, and self-reporting should continue to be studied as it can foster preventative health behaviours.
