The role of community participation in the malaria control program in Indonesia.
An operational field trial on community-based malaria control efforts in West Timor, one district in Indonesia, had been implemented since 1987. The trial investigated the utilization of Posyandu cadres in case finding and treatment of malaria. From this trial it appears feasible to utilize these cadres for malaria control. Efficacy of cadres in case finding and treatment of chills and fevers surpassed all expectations.
