疟疾是马拉维学龄儿童（5-18岁）死亡的主要原因。拯救儿童联合会帮助马拉维Mangochi区的学校获得学生治疗包，使教师能够根据国家准则分发磺胺乙胺嘧啶药片。对干预前3年和干预后2年的总体和疟疾特异性死亡率进行了计算;死亡率分别从2.2降至1.44/1000学生年和从1.28降至0.44/1000学生年。以学校为基础的干预措施可以在减轻疟疾方面发挥作用。
Malaria is a major cause of death in school-age (5-18 years) children in Malawi. Save the Children Federation helped schools in Mangochi District, Malawi, to obtain pupil-treatment kits, which enabled teachers to dispense sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine tablets according to national guidelines. The overall and malaria-specific mortality rates were calculated for the 3 years before and 2 years after the intervention was introduced; rates dropped from 2.2 to 1.44 deaths/1000 student-years and from 1.28 to 0.44 deaths/1000 student-years, respectively. School-based interventions could play a part in mitigating malaria.
