*The score was based on a 10-question true/false quiz administered to each outlet, with 10 as maximum score. The questions focused malaria treatment practices, such as whether sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) is more effective than chloroquine, whether SP is too strong for children, whether SP is a single-dose treatment, etc. **From ANOVA F-test. |
