Research Highlights

  • National and sub-national variation in patterns of febrile case management in sub-Saharan Africa

    Various drivers of treatment-seeking behaviour contribute to disease outcomes. Victor Alegana and colleagues set out to quantify the probability of seeking treatment for fever in 29 sub-Saharan African countries. The probability of seeking-treatment for fever was less than 50% in half the countries. Findings provide insights into public sector utilization at national and subnational levels, and aim to improve planning, resource allocation and disease burden estimation.

Their findings demonstrated that research participants prioritise information about the potential benefits and harms of data sharing. The researchers also found that explaining data sharing to research participants was challenging.
