| dc.description.abstract | In malaria endemic regions in Kenya, pregnant women are ofered long-lasting insecticidal nets and
intermittent preventive treatment (IPTp) with sulfadoxine–pyrimethamine (SP) at antenatal care (ANC) to prevent the
adverse efects of malaria. Fears of growing SP resistance have heightened the search for alternative strategies. The
implementation feasibility of intermittent screening and treatment (ISTp) with dihydroartemisinin–piperaquine (DP) in
routine ANC settings was evaluated using qualitative and quantitative methods, including the exploration of healthcare provider and pregnant women’s perceptions | en_US |
