Revive IPTp: Focus Group Discussions on Malaria Prevention in Kenya

Dennis Matanda and the Population Council conducted repeated cross-sectional surveys and focus group discussions in Kenya to evaluate the Revive IPTp program. The data tracks progress toward the national goal of 80% coverage for intermittent preventive treatment of malaria in pregnancy (IPTp) using Sulfadoxine-Pyrimethamine (SP).

Use Cases

• Analyzing healthcare provider willingness to promote Sulfadoxine-Pyrimethamine (SP)
• Identifying community-level barriers to IPTp-SP uptake among pregnant women
• Evaluating the capacity of Kenyan county governments to monitor decentralized healthcare interventions

Strengths

• Repeated cross-sectional survey design
• Multi-stakeholder perspectives including providers and government bodies
• Directly aligned with Kenya's 2025 national malaria coverage targets

Limitations

• Qualitative focus group data may not be statistically representative of the entire Kenyan population
• Missing metadata regarding specific sample sizes and row counts
