Malaria Molecular Surveillance Study Design workshop

Workshop format

Over the course of 1.5 days (see Schedule) we will have a combination of lectures, hands-on exercises, and group discussions. The workshop will be in English. We will cover several topics relevant to malaria molecular surveillance (MMS) study design, including:

• Statistical power
• Sample size calculation
• Estimating prevalence
• Measuring changes in prevalence
• Cluster-based study design and intra-cluster correlation
• Guest lectures from experts conducting MMS studies
