Systematic review reveals widespread methodological diversity in malaria risk mapping across sub-Saharan Africa, highlighting the need for standardized frameworks and transparent covariate selection.
Our review highlights the methodological diversity prominent in malaria risk mapping across SSA. To ensure reproducibility and quality science, best practices and transparent approaches should be adopted when selecting the statistical framework and covariates for malaria risk mapping. Findings underscore the need to periodically assess methods and covariates used in malaria risk mapping; to accommodate changes in data availability, data quality and innovation in statistical methodology.
