Screenshot examples of Community Health Worker (CHW) mobile phone short messaging service (SMS) text before transmission to the National Malaria Control Centre and an Illustration of the interpretation of the code sent through the SMS reporting system. A: example of an SMS code for study participants that were attended to through the passive system when they self-reported to the CHW, B: example of an SMS code for study participants contacted through active monthly household visits, C: Example of an SMS code for reporting on use and availability of AL and RDTs, D: Schematic Illustration of the format and syntax of reports for diagnostic results from both passive and active visits, and E: Schematic Illustration of the format and syntax of reports for the availability of AL and RDTs. REG refers to passive participants data, SCR refers to active participant data, ACT refers to Artemether Lumefantrine stocks, RDT refers to rapid diagnostic test stocks, OPD refers to passive participant contact, and Y or N – refer to stock availability (Yes or No). Note that CHWs did not report fields H, J, K in the REG report or G, H, J in the SCR report because these represent microscopy data elements that were only collected by the health facilities.
