Engaging Community Health Workers in Malaria Vector Control Strategies Using Bio-Friendly Chemicals: A Protocol from Kibera Settlement, Kenya

Malaria remains a significant public health issue in Kibera Settlement, Kenya, despite ongoing efforts to control malaria vectors. A mixed-methods approach will be employed, including quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews with CHWs. Data collection will occur over two years. In the first year of implementation, there was a 30% engagement rate among CHWs in using bio-friendly chemicals for vector control compared to baseline levels. The findings suggest that increasing training and incentives could enhance CHW engagement rates in malaria vector control efforts. Develop targeted training programmes and provide financial support to improve CHW participation in malaria prevention strategies. Treatment effect was estimated with logit (pᵢ) =₀+^ Xᵢ, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.
