Overview

Cross-sectional analysis shows higher malaria risk in agricultural households, suggesting tailored interventions in both urban and rural settings.

Key Points

  • Children in agricultural households have a higher malaria risk than those in non-agricultural homes, with similar bed net usage.
  • Country-specific variations in malaria prevalence highlight the complexity of agricultural work and intervention uptake.
  • Key mediators identified include wealth, treatment-seeking behavior, and housing quality affecting malaria risk.
  • Findings support targeted malaria interventions that consider environmental and socioeconomic factors in vulnerable households.
