What are the pathways between poverty and malaria in sub-Saharan Africa? A systematic review of mediation studies

ConclusionsFew studies have conducted formal mediation analyses to elucidate pathways between SEP and malaria. Findings indicate that food security and housing could be more feasible (structural) intervention targets. Further research using well-designed longitudinal studies and improved analysis would illuminate the current sparse evidence into the pathways between SEP and malaria and adduce evidence for more potential targets for effective intervention.Graphical Abstract
