Effectiveness of peer supervision on appropriate treatment of
uncomplicated Malaria
Considering results one month after introduction of peer supervision as
well as post trend results, there was no statistically significant
difference in appropriate treatment of uncomplicated malaria among drug
sellers in the intervention and comparison districts. In Uganda, studies
evaluating integrated community case management in eight districts of
central Uganda also found no statistical difference in appropriate
treatment of children between intervention and comparison districts41. This may be because malaria has affected the
Ugandan population for a long time. As such, many drug sellers are able
to treat uncomplicated malaria even without formal training and or
supervision.
