Abstract

Malaria remains a significant public health concern in tribal populations, particularly in rural areas of Maharashtra, India. This study examines the current malaria prevention and control practices among the tribal population in Akole Taluka, Maharashtra. The research aims to assess the existing strategies, identify challenges, and propose recommendations to improve malaria prevention and control efforts. A mixed-methods approach was employed, involving surveys, interviews, and focus group discussions with community members, healthcare providers, and local stakeholders. The study highlights the utilization of preventive measures such as bed nets, indoor residual spraying, and antimalarial medications. However, challenges such as low awareness, limited access to healthcare services, and socioeconomic factors hinder effective malaria control. The findings emphasize the need for targeted interventions, community engagement, and collaboration between healthcare providers, local authorities, and tribal communities to enhance malaria prevention and control practices.
