The timing of RDT-confirmed malaria episodes in each age group, in SMC and control villages, for 5 months from the SMC start date.

The y-axis shows the Nelson–Aalen cumulative hazard, equal to the mean number of episodes of malaria experienced per child from the start of the study up to the given time (in months since the date when cycle 1 started in SMC villages), in children in villages targeted with SMC and in the control villages. CCM, community case management; RDT, rapid diagnostic test; SMC, seasonal malaria chemoprevention.
