Table 2 Optimal combinations of RDT and ACT subsidies for different beliefs of a representative individual and malaria parasite prevalence
From: Optimal price subsidies for appropriate malaria testing and treatment behaviour
Individual beliefs with respect to: | Malaria prevalence (\(\bar{p}\)) | Subsidy in % | Total subsidy cost per individual in US$ | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Fever is malaria (\(p\)) | Negative RDT (\(p_{n}\)) | Positive RDT (\(p_{p}\)) | RDT | ACT | ||
