  abstract = {{SMC} has been introduced widely in the {S}ahel since its recommendation by {WHO} in 2012. {T}his study, which provided evidence of feasibility that supported the recommendation, included school-age and pre-school children. {S}chool-age children were not included in the 2012 recommendation but bear an increasing proportion of cases. {I}n 2006, consultations with health-staff were held to choose delivery methods. {T}he preferred approach, door-to-door with the first daily-dose supervised by a community-health- worker ({CHW}), was piloted and subsequently evaluated on a large-scale in under-5's in 2008 and then in under-10's 2009-2010. {C}overage was higher among school-age children (96%(95% {CI} 94%, 98%) received three treatments in 2010) than among under 5's (90%(86%, 94%)). {SMC} was more equitable than {LLIN}s (odds-ratio for increase in coverage for a one-level rise in socioeconomic-ranking (a 5-point scale), was 1.1 (0.95,1.2) in 2009, compared with {OR} 1.3 (1.2,1.5) for sleeping under an {LLIN}. {E}ffective communication was important in achieving high levels of uptake. {C}ontinued training and supervision were needed to ensure {CHW}s adhered to treatment guidelines. {SMC} door-to-door can, if carefully supervised, achieve high equitable coverage and high-quality delivery. {SMC} programmes can be adapted to include school-age children, a neglected group that bears a substantial burden of malaria.},
