    Human-Centered Design and Sustainable Malaria Interventions
    Michael Macdonald and Thomas Putzer
    Global Health: Science and Practice June 2019, 7(2):148-149; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-19-00189

    Human-centered design provides a method to adapt malaria control interventions to be more closely aligned with a family's convenience, comfort, and personal lifestyle, enabling a broader and more sustained culture of access and use.

    Using a Human-Centered Design Approach to Determine Consumer Preferences for Long-Lasting Insecticidal Nets in Ghana
    Sharon Kim, Danielle Piccinini, Elorm Mensah and Matthew Lynch
    Global Health: Science and Practice June 2019, 7(2):160-170; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-18-00284

    Through focus group discussions and human-centered design exercises, middle-class Ghanaians communicated the need to address convenience, comfort, and aesthetics when designing a bed net for their demographic. Illustrative attributes for consideration by private-sector manufacturers include a more convenient way to hang the net, a more attractive silhouette, and a zipper to provide ease of entry and exit while keeping the area sealed from mosquitos.

    Novel Indoor Residual Spray Insecticide With Extended Mortality Effect: A Case of SumiShield 50WG Against Wild Resistant Populations of Anopheles arabiensis in Northern Tanzania
    Eliningaya Kweka, Aneth Mahande, Johnson Ouma, Wycliffe Karanja, Shandala Msangi, Violet Temba, Lucille Lyaruu and Yousif Himeidan
    Global Health: Science and Practice December 2018, 6(4):758-765; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-18-00213

    The new SumiShield 50WG insecticide, which possibly has longer duration of effectiveness than other indoor residual spray (IRS) formulations, has potential as an alternative IRS product for malaria vector control, particularly where resistance to other formulations has developed.

    Malaria Case Detection Among Mobile Populations and Migrant Workers in Myanmar: Comparison of 3 Service Delivery Approaches
    Soy Ty Kheang, May Aung Lin, Saw Lwin, Ye Hein Naing, Phyo Yarzar, Neeraj Kak and Taylor Price
    Global Health: Science and Practice June 2018, 6(2):384-389; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-17-00318

    In 3 regions of Myanmar, village malaria workers (VMWs) and mobile teams tested a higher number of people than strategically placed fixed screening points at border crossings, but VMWs and screening points yielded higher malaria positive rates. We recommend using a combination of these approaches in the Greater Mekong Subregion for such populations depending on the strategic approach of the program.

    Long-Lasting Insecticidal Nets for Malaria Control in Myanmar and Nigeria: Lessons From the Past, Tools for the Future
    Michael B. Macdonald
    Global Health: Science and Practice June 2018, 6(2):237-241; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-18-00158

    While having saved many lives over the past decade, continued dependence on mass distribution of free long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) is not sufficient and may not be sustainable. Programs must be enabled with flexible policy and technical options to place LLINs within a larger context of multisectoral partnerships and integrated vector management, avoiding what happened in the DDT era, where there was overreliance implementing a uniform solution to a complex problem.

    Design, Implementation, and Evaluation of a School Insecticide-Treated Net Distribution Program in Cross River State, Nigeria
    Angela Acosta, Emmanuel Obi, Richmond Ato Selby, Iyam Ugot, Matthew Lynch, Mark Maire, Kassahun Belay, Abidemi Okechukwu, Uwem Inyang, Jessica Kafuko, George Greer, Lilia Gerberg, Megan Fotheringham, Hannah Koenker and Albert Kilian
    Global Health: Science and Practice June 2018, 6(2):272-287; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-17-00350

    Three years following a mass bed net distribution campaign, the addition of school-based distribution to antenatal care (ANC) distribution in Cross River State, Nigeria, increased household ownership of any net to nearly 80%, whereas ownership in the comparison area was below 50%. School distribution was nearly equitable among rich and poor, and very few households obtained nets from both ANC and schools, suggesting complementary reach.

    Equal Opportunity, Equal Work: Increasing Women's Participation in the U.S. President's Malaria Initiative Africa Indoor Residual Spraying Project
    Abigail Donner, Allison Belemvire, Ben Johns, Keith Mangam, Elana Fiekowsky, Jayleen Gunn, Mary Hayden and Kacey Ernst
    Global Health: Science and Practice December 2017, 5(4):603-616; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-17-00189

    Promotion of gender policies led to increased hiring of women in supervisory roles in a large indoor residual spraying (IRS) program with no meaningful differences in IRS output between men and women spray operators.

    New Ways of Approaching Indoor Residual Spraying for Malaria
    Michael Macdonald
    Global Health: Science and Practice December 2016, 4(4):511-513; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-16-00354

    Using health extension workers in Ethiopia as supervisors of the spray team reduced operational costs while maintaining quality. But rethinking IRS calls for (1) adapting equipment and procedures to ensure higher-quality spray applications, and (2) empowering decentralized targeting against malaria transmission foci.

    Indoor Residual Spraying Delivery Models to Prevent Malaria: Comparison of Community- and District-Based Approaches in Ethiopia
    Benjamin Johns, Yemane Yeebiyo Yihdego, Lena Kolyada, Dereje Dengela, Sheleme Chibsa, Gunawardena Dissanayake, Kristen George, Hiwot Solomon Taffese and Bradford Lucas
    Global Health: Science and Practice December 2016, 4(4):529-541; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-16-00165

    Integrating indoor residual spraying into the institutionalized community-based health system in 5 districts was more efficient than the district-based model and did not compromise quality or compliance with environmental standards.

    Feasibility and Effectiveness of mHealth for Mobilizing Households for Indoor Residual Spraying to Prevent Malaria: A Case Study in Mali
    Keith Mangam, Elana Fiekowsky, Moussa Bagayoko, Laura Norris, Allison Belemvire, Rebecca Longhany, Christen Fornadel and Kristen George
    Global Health: Science and Practice June 2016, 4(2):222-237; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-15-00381

    Sending voice and/or text messages to mobilize households for spraying was more costly per structure and less effective at preparing structures than traditional door-to-door mobilization approaches supplemented with radio and town hall announcements. Challenges included:

    • Lack of familiarity with mobile phones and with public health mobile messaging

    • Lack of face-to-face communication with mobilizers, making it easier to ignore mobilization messages and preventing trust-building

    • Low literacy levels

    • Gender differentials in access to mobile phones
