Description

The purpose of this FOA is to reduce the burden of malaria in U.S. residents who travel overseas to malaria-endemic countries and return to the United States. Consideration should be given to high burden areas and populations, such as New York City and persons whose purpose of travel is to visit friends and relatives (VFRs). The objectives of this FOA will be to design qualitative and quantitative studies to document the barriers that exist in various VFR communities leading to increased risk of malaria while traveling, use this knowledge obtained to design and implement targeted intervention programs to reduce disease risk and better protect travelers, document the reduction of disease in these communities, and develop an approach that can be applied to VFR communities nationwide to reduce malaria disease burden. The results of this work should lead to a reduction of malaria cases in the United States.
