Results of changing drug and testing protocol for anti-malarial drug distribution. Change (%) in the simulated mean parasite prevalence compared to the simulated mean parasite prevalence measured 1 year after implementation of a baseline strategy, for different combinations and testing protocols of DHAP, SLD primaquine, and ivermectin. Rows represent different coverage levels achieved by the simulated intervention. For drug combinations at 40 % coverage per round, the baseline includes the existing intervention strategy of three rounds of mass test and treat with AL covering 40 % per round of all ages in the population with 60 days between treatment rounds. For drug combinations at 72 % coverage per round, the baseline includes three rounds of mass test and treat with AL covering 72 % per round of all ages in the population with 60 days between treatment rounds. Rows represent results stratified by the pre-intervention mean parasite prevalence in the population as measured by RDT. Centre solid lines represent the simulated median value, green boxes represent the inter-quartile range, and capped bars represent the upper and lower adjacent values for simulated results using an ensemble of 14 model variants and three random seeds
