17/158 (10.7%) were partial or non-participants in three rounds of MDA. 141/150 (94.0%) respondents took part in the MDA and tested their blood in all three rounds. Resultsġ50/158 (94.9%) respondents participated at least in one activity (taking medicine or testing their blood) of TME. Among the 973 villagers eligible for participation in the MDA, 158 (16.2%) adults (> 18 years) were selected, one each from every household for the interviews using a quantitative questionnaire. The survey was conducted in two villages with a total of 158 households in July and August 2016. In order to explore the reasons for participation in TME, a quantitative survey was conducted after the completion of the three rounds of MDA. The success of MDA largely depends upon the efficacy of the anti-malarial drug regimen, local malaria epidemiology and the population coverage. Targeted malaria elimination (TME) in Lao PDR (Laos) included three rounds of mass drug administrations (MDA) against malaria followed by quarterly blood surveys in two villages in Nong District at Savannakhet Province.
