Revitalisation of intermittent preventive treatment of malaria in pregnancy in Kenya (Revive IPTp)_Focus Group Discussions

Design: Repeated cross-sectional surveys. Aims and objectives: Revive IPTp aims to support the Government of Kenya’s National Malaria Control Program goal of closing the gap towards the achievement of the national target of 80% coverage of IPTp-SP by 2025. Specifically, Revive IPTp seeks to: 1) Increase programme implementers and healthcare providers' understanding, capacity and willingness to promote use of SP in IPTp; 2) Increase community engagement on IPTp and promote self-care by pregnant women; and 3) Strengthen the capacity of county government bodies to deliver and monitor IPTp-SP interventions as part of the country’s decentralised healthcare system.研究设计：重复横断面调查。 宗旨与目标：“Revive IPTp”项目旨在支持肯尼亚政府国家疟疾控制规划的目标，缩小差距以实现到2025年采用磺胺多辛-乙胺嘧啶（Sulfadoxine-Pyrimethamine, SP）的孕期间歇性预防性治疗（Intermittent Preventive Treatment in Pregnancy, IPTp）覆盖率达到80%的国家指标。具体而言，本项目旨在达成以下目标： 1. 提升项目执行人员与医疗服务提供者对在孕期间歇性预防性治疗中使用磺胺多辛-乙胺嘧啶的认知水平、实施能力与推广意愿； 2. 增强社区对孕期间歇性预防性治疗的参与度，倡导孕妇开展自我健康照护； 3. 强化郡级政府机构的能力，使其可作为国家分散化医疗体系的组成部分，落实并监测采用磺胺多辛-乙胺嘧啶的孕期间歇性预防性治疗干预措施。
