Table 2 TESTsmART study outcomes

Primary

ACT consumption by true malaria cases

All clients who purchased an ACT

1 = positive malaria test^a and purchases ACT

0 = otherwise

Proportion of ACTs that are sold to malaria test-positive^a clients

Secondary

Use of malaria rapid diagnostic test

All suspected malaria cases^b

1 = tested with mRDT

0 = otherwise

Adherence to mRDT result

All clients who were tested with mRDT

1 = positive malaria test and purchases ACT OR negative malaria test and did not purchase any AM

0 = otherwise

Proportion of malaria tested clients whose treatment adhered to test results

\( {\displaystyle \begin{array}{c}\#\mathrm{clients}\ \mathrm{that}\ \mathrm{tested}\ \mathrm{positive}\ \mathrm{with}\ \mathrm{mRDT}\ \mathrm{and}\ \mathrm{purchase}\mathrm{d}\ \mathrm{ACT}+\\ {}\frac{\#\mathrm{clients}\ \mathrm{that}\ \mathrm{tested}\ \mathrm{negative}\ \mathrm{with}\ \mathrm{mRDT}\ \mathrm{and}\ \mathrm{d}\mathrm{id}\ \mathrm{not}\ \mathrm{purchase}\ \mathrm{AM}}{\#\mathrm{clients}\ \mathrm{tested}\ \mathrm{with}\ \mathrm{mRDT}}\end{array}} \)

Appropriate case mgmt
