Unraveling the ‘community effects’ of interventions against malaria endemicity: a systematic scoping review by Jesse Gitaka, Wataru Kagaya, Akira Kaneko, Yura K Ko, Chim W Chan, Mariko Kanamori, Samuel M Mbugua, Alex K Rotich, Bernard N Kanoi, Mtakai Ngara

“…Without proper consideration of the effects, the interventions’ impact on health outcomes and their cost-effectiveness may be miscalculated. We aimed to summarise how the indirect effects of malaria interventions were analysed and reported.Design We conducted a scoping review.Data sources We searched PubMed, Web of Science and EMBASE.Eligibility criteria We included studies that were conducted to quantify the indirect effects of any interventions for all species of Plasmodium infection.Data extraction and synthesis We used a standardised data collection form to obtain the following information from each record: title, name of authors, year of publication, region, country, study type, malaria parasite species, type of interventions, type of outcomes, separate estimated indirect effect for different conditions, pre-specified to measure indirect effect, secondary analysis of previous study, methods of indirect effects estimation, terms of indirect effects, and if positive or negative indirect effects observed.Results We retrieved 32 articles and observed a recent increase in both the number of reports and the variety of terms used to denote the indirect effects. …”
