| 2014 || Research || Malaria Consortium coordinates a study, aimed at exploring the barriers impeding the uptake of intermittent preventive treatment in pregnancy (IPTp) in Uganda. The research concludes that, despite a range of minor concerns, women and communities have largely positive views of antenatal care (ANC) attendance and IPTp. Refusal rates of IPTp are low and given the high ANC attendance figures, the main obstacles to the provision of IPTp are therefore likely to be supply-side challenges.<ref>{{cite web |title=Barriers to IPTp uptake in Uganda |url=https://www.malariaconsortium.org/blog/barriers-to-iptp-uptake-in-uganda/ |website=malariaconsortium.org |accessdate=11 January 2019}}</ref> || {{w|Uganda}}
