About the article
In the article Strengthening malaria service delivery through supportive supervision and community mobilization in an endemic Indian setting: an evaluation of nested delivery models, the impact of community mobilization and community mobilization combined with supportive supervision were compared with routine government malaria prevention and control activities. This randomized control study found that both community mobilization and community mobilization combined with supportive supervision improved a number of community preventive and care-seeking behaviors for malaria.
