“We have been collecting really rich & comprehensive information on what it would take for this product to be successful, what it would take for it to be implemented successfully, and scaled up successfully,” says CCP’s @AprilCMonroe
Understanding how to make a new #malaria control tool successful, says CCP's @aprilcmonroe, involves:
➡️ talking to end users over time to understand experiences
➡️ identifying potential challenges
➡️ learning how to communicate about the tool effectively ccp.jhu.edu/2023/10/30/malar…

Still reeling after #ASTMH2023 meeting. One highlight was the symposium on enhancing development & evaluation of vector control tools through social & behavioral research.

🦟 Could an indoor mosquito repellent be a groundbreaking new tool in the fight against #malaria? Preliminary data on Mosquito Shield™ in Kenya are even more promising than CCP & AEGIS researchers expected.

🦟It’s here! Our @MalariaJournal paper shows that continuous #bednet distribution could provide higher, more consistent protection against #malaria, with 20% fewer nets than mass campaigns – as long as nets last ≥2.5 years rdcu.be/dfNdl. 🧵1/7

Ifakara MasterClasses: lessons from leading experts on the battle against malaria
~
The Ifakara MasterClasses play a crucial role in uniting the global community to combat malaria. These classes involve discussions with experts, facilitating practical comprehension of malaria control topics. By bringing together researchers, postgraduate students, National Malaria Program officials, and advocates, these virtual sessions foster knowledge sharing and the exchange of best practices in malaria control. In a TrendsTalk, the organizers, hosts, and participant researchers provide a summary of five of the MasterClasses, emphasizing their commitment to promoting scientific discourse on malaria. This initiative strives to engage a broad audience by convening world-leading experts and facilitating discussions on technical knowledge and experiences related to malaria control
Thank you @iliciub1 for the excellent leadership in writing this up; and thanks to @NanaAbaWilliam2, @Ogoma_S and @AprilCMonroe for your excellent contributions
