A study plan outlining a randomized control trial with two arms, conducted in parallel, to investigate the impact of a health education intervention on the utilization and implementation of insecticide-treated nets among pregnant women attending antenatal clinics
Introduction: Estimating the real extent of the health impact caused by malaria globally is essentially an educated estimation in the scientific realm. However, there is no denying that the most significant toll is observed in sub-Saharan Africa. Methods: This research will involve an intervention s...
