详细介绍了尼加拉瓜的一项疟疾控制工作，其中涉及向一岁以上的所有公民的目标人口短期大规模分发抗疟疾药物。1981年11月，约70%的人口获得了抗疟药物，70，000名卫生运动工作人员及其助手分发了800万包氯喹和伯氨喹。培训和动员工作利用了当地社区组织的志愿人员。在药物管理之前的几周里，大众教育是一个关键的焦点。运动的效果立即显现，用药后发病率迅速下降。目前正在进行的社区环境控制、病例发现和健康教育活动继续改善了运动后的疟疾状况。此外，这场运动促进了疟疾防治活动的权力下放，并将防治疟疾的工作纳入全国初级保健系统。
A malaria control effort in Nicaragua involving the mass, short-term distribution of anti-malaria medicines to a target population of all citizens above one year of age is detailed. About 70% of the population recieved anti-malarials in November, 1981 and 8 million packets of chloroquine and primaquine were distributed by 70,000 health campaign workers and their assistants. Training and mobilization efforts used volunteers from local community organizations. Mass public education was a key focus in the weeks before drug administration. The effects of the campaign were immediately apparent with a rapid decline in incidence after drug administration. Ongoing community environmental control, case finding, and health education activities continued to improve the malaria situation post-campaign. Further, the campaign promoted the decentralization of malaria control activities and integration of the malaria efforts with the nationwide primary health care system.
