Table 8 Overall testing consideration codes

Need for promotion/expanded awareness

So this test is a new thing in the field, if you come to the Center and we say give the saliva, someone will not be afraid, we will explain to people, we do an awareness campaign because it is something new that comes to the field

Design/protocol modification suggestions

Should explain from time to time see that the 'circle' turns red; too much light disturbs the reading

Adapting devices for children^a

It's good, easy, more direct; but for the children we must make the small size (saliva) device—this one is too big

Appropriate discard/waste management practices^a

There is a risk that people will believe that the (saliva) devices used are recycled. To circumvent this belief or thought, we suggest that the device be covered in a package that is only uncovered when used in front of the care recipient, like with syringes. Otherwise, people will avoid using these

Expand availability

For me, the saliva-based malaria test must be integrated into the health program as well as into the health system. That is to say, it must be made available to everyone so that it can be done everywhere and by everyone, and that anyone who is positive is directed to the health center for appropriate care

Spitting cup/super sal device preference

It's easy, you spit in the cup, directly the technician puts the saliva in the cassette, easy; then you throw away the cup. The (saliva/SUPER-SAL) device takes time, I tried it myself, the mouth was dry, the saliva came with difficulty. Meanwhile you can catch germs when you put it back into the compression tube
