"There is a strong evidence base showing that SBCC programs can help improve malaria prevention and treatment behaviors. However, more work needs to be done to ensure that best practices are documented and used consistently. The review provides recommendations for strengthening peer-reviewed research papers by including strategic communication processes in journal articles. Reporting program exposure is essential for establishing the role of SBCC interventions in malaria prevention and treatment behaviors." (Conclusions)
