4. Discussion
This study aimed at assessing the effectiveness of peer supervision on paediatric fever treatment among registered private drug sellers in two districts in East-Central Uganda. There was an increase in the number of inspection visits by the district drug inspector in the intervention district after peer-supervision was introduced. Overall, post intervention trend results revealed that introduction of peer supervision was associated with a significant long term increase in the proportion of appropriately treated children with pneumonia symptoms. Peer supervision did not increase the proportion of appropriately treated children with uncomplicated malaria and non-bloody diarrhoea.
