# metadata.dc.description.abstract[].value
--- - Label: OBJECTIVES NlmCategory: OBJECTIVE content: A
                Demographic and Health Platform was established in Magude in
                2015, prior to the deployment of a project aiming to evaluate
                the feasibility of malaria elimination in southern Mozambique,
                named the Magude project. This platform aimed to inform the
                design, implementation and evaluation of the Magude project,
                through the identification of households and population; and the
                collection of demographic, health and malaria information. -
                Label: SETTING NlmCategory: METHODS content: Magude is a rural
                district of southern Mozambique which borders South Africa. It
                has nine peripheral health facilities and one referral health
                centre with an inpatient ward. - Label: INTERVENTION
                NlmCategory: METHODS content: "A baseline census enumerated and
                geolocated all the households, and their resident and
                non-resident members, collecting demographic and socio-economic
                information, and data on the coverage and usage of malaria
                control tools. Inpatient and outpatient data during the
                5\xE2\x80\x89years (2010 to 2014) before the survey were
                obtained from the district health authorities. The demographic
                platform was updated in 2016." - Label: RESULTS NlmCategory:
                RESULTS content: "The baseline census conducted in 2015 reported
                48\xE2\x80\x89448 (92.1%) residents and 4133 (7.9%)
                non-residents, and 10\xE2\x80\x89965 households. Magude's
                population is predominantly young, half of the population has no
                formal education and the main economic activities are
                agriculture and fishing. Houses are mainly built with
                traditional non-durable materials and have poor sanitation
                facilities. Between 2010 and 2014, malaria was the most common
                cause of all-age inpatient discharges (representing 20% to 40%
                of all discharges), followed by HIV (12% to 22%) and anaemia
                (12% to 15%). In early 2015, all-age bed-net usage was between
                21.8% and 27.1%\xE2\x80\x89and the reported coverage of indoor
                residual spraying varied across the district between 30.7% and
                79%." - Label: CONCLUSION NlmCategory: CONCLUSIONS content: This
                study revealed that Magude has limited socio-economic
                conditions, poor access to healthcare services and low coverage
                of malaria vector control interventions. Thus, Magude
                represented an area where it is most pressing to demonstrate the
                feasibility of malaria elimination. - Label: TRIAL REGISTRATION
