| Difference of malaria incidence between control and intervention arms | Day 0 (cross-sectional survey) | Incidence will be calculated as the number of malaria cases detected during the cross-sectionnal surveys relative to the population size |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Difference of malaria prevalence between control and intervention arms | Day 0 (cross-sectional survey) | Prevalence will be calculated as the proportion of participants with malaria infection (i.e. positive blood smears) detected during the cross-sectionnal surveys |
