Modelling malaria treatment practices in Bangladesh using spatial statistics Ubydul Haque, Lauren M Scott, Masahiro Hashizume, Emily Fisher, Rashidul Haque, Taro Yamamoto, Gregory E Glass Malaria Journal 2012, 11:63 (5 March 2012) Several factors including tribal affiliation, housing materials, household densities, education levels, and proximity to the regional urban centre, were found to be effective predictors of malaria treatment-seeking preferences. Understanding where each factor is a strong predictor may help in planning targeted interventions aimed at increasing control programme usage.

Review
Taking stock: provider prescribing practices in the presence and absence of ACT stock Bernadette Hensen, Lucy Paintain, Rima Shretta, Jane Bruce, Caroline Jones, Jayne Webster Malaria Journal 2011, 10:218 (3 August 2011) An important paper in its field addressing relation between anti-malarial prescribing behaviour and ACT stock-out on six studies where some data on this topic are available. The paper concludes that stock outs influence behaviour and rightly call for revival of facility-based quality of care surveys, an activity largely forgotten within most of the control programmes.
