对肯尼亚海岸地区医院周围农村和城郊人口的 388 名母亲进行的社区调查显示，儿童发热性疾病的首选治疗方法是在商店和售货亭柜台购买专有药物（受访者占 72%）。 67% 的曾到过商店的母亲声称她们会购买氯喹类药物。蚊帐等预防措施并不常见（6.2%），但据报道使用商业除虫菊蚊香的情况更为频繁（46.4%）。对 394 名患有严重和轻度疟疾的儿童入院前接受的治疗进行的单独调查与社区中大量使用商店购买的抗疟疾药和退烧药的报告一致。讨论了私营部门参与疟疾外围卫生保健服务的情况。
A community survey of 388 mothers in a rural and peri-urban population surrounding a district hospital on the coast of Kenya revealed that the preferred choice of treatment for childhood febrile illnesses was with proprietary drugs bought over the counter at shops and kiosks (72% of interviews). 67% of the mothers who reported using shops claimed they would buy chloroquine-based drugs. Preventative measures such as mosquito nets were uncommon (6.2%), but the use of commercial pyrethrum mosquito coils was reported more frequently (46.4%). Separate investigations of treatment given to 394 children before presentation at hospital with severe and mild malaria was consistent with the reports in the community of high usage of shop-bought anti-malarials and anti-pyretics. The involvement of the private sector in peripheral health care delivery for malaria is discussed.
