Malaria educational materials are culturally inappropriate, relying on dominant language literacy. Remote villages and lack of transport complicate surveillance by CHWs. Costs of treating malaria outside the village are high. Conclusions Geographic, cultural, and social factors create barriers to malaria control among tribal communities in India. Efforts to decrease malaria burden among these populations must consider such realities.

Introduction Malaria infection is a major public health concern, thought to cause more than one million deaths in the world every year. India has the highest number of malaria deaths outside of the African continent with an estimated 200,000 deaths annually. Approximately 50% of all malaria deaths in India occur among members of tribal groups. As tribal persons constitute less than 10% of India's total population, these communities bear a disproportionately heavy burden of disease. Malaria control activities in India are carried out through the direction of the World Bank-funded National Vector Borne Disease Control Programme (NVBDCP).
