Understanding Malaria Transmission and Control within and Between Regions in Zambia Using a Socio-Spatial Determinants of Health Framework
摘要
Differential exposure and effect of malaria results from blends of biophysical, geospatial, and social determinants of health (SDoH). Likewise, effective policies and programmatic interventions against malaria must consider the complex interaction of social and spatial factors, while comprehensive health promotion approaches must simultaneously tackle SDoH and the ecological dimensions that drive malaria. This chapter delves into the geographies of exposure, susceptibility, adaptability, and health risk to explain malaria transmission outcomes in Zambia’s provinces. Using the social-spatial determinants (SSDoH) framework offers practical approaches to comprehending and tackling the complexities of malaria transmission and control, especially intervention effectiveness in Zambia’s high-burden areas.
