Determinants of public malaria awareness during the national malaria elimination programme: a cross-sectional study in rural China.

CONCLUSIONS: Community media played the most important role in public awareness of malaria. However, only a few participants have received malaria knowledge through this media. It suggests that community media was an effective publicity material, which should expand its coverage. Malaria health promotion campaign needs to be aligned with target populations, in particular, people who are under 45 years old and residents (especially in type-3 counties) in remote areas.
