Malaria is a serious health threat to the Indian population. The World Bank, through the National Vector Borne Disease Control Program, is assisting the government of India to develop a new national response strategy. This impact evaluation study was undertaken to test the effectiveness of the new strategies of malaria control in India. These strategies included community-based management of fever and malaria with rapid diagnostic tests and artemisinin-combination therapy, and introduction of long lasting insecticidal treated bed nets. The impact evaluation was conducted in 120 villages in two high endemic districts in Orissa state. It was a three-arm randomized design with one intervention arm receiving supportive supervision of community health workers along with community mobilization, the second intervention arm with only community mobilization, and a third control arm without any intervention. The baseline data collection was carried out in Dec. 2008 Jan. 2009, and the endline data collection in Nov. 2010 Feb. 2011. Data from endline household questionnaires, the malaria service providers questionnaire and the community questionnaire is documented here.
