Quality of services delivered were similar to those seen in rural CCMm settings. Urban CCMm is feasible, but it struggles against other sources of established healthcare providers. Innovation is required by everyone to make it viable.

A census-weighted, spatially-stratified household sampling strategy for urban malaria epidemiology Jose G Siri, Kim A Lindblade, Daniel H Rosen, Bernard Onyango, John M Vulule, Laurence Slutsker, Mark L Wilson Malaria Journal 2008, 7:39 (29 February 2008) This paper describes a new approach for developing sampling frames that can be used for urban environments. The model was developed to meet the needs of a KAP survey in Kisumu, Kenya. Enumeration areas were selected combined with population census data.

Methodology
Quantitative urban classification for malaria epidemiology in sub-Saharan Africa Jose G Siri, Kim A Lindblade, Daniel H Rosen, Bernard Onyango, John Vulule, Laurence Slutsker, Mark L Wilson Malaria Journal 2008, 7:34 (25 February 2008) Cluster analysis techniques were used to classify Kisumu, Kenya, into levels of urbanization in a repeatable and unbiased manner, an approach that should permit more relevant comparisons among and within urban areas.
