ABSTRACT Introduction: As part of the Universal Coverage Campaign implemented in 2017, a new model was applied for the distribution of mosquito nets impregnated with long-lasting insecticide. Coverage had been found to be low in 2015. Objective: Characterize the new model for the distribution of mosquito nets impregnated with long-lasting insecticide applied in the 2017 Campaign in Tete Province, Mozambique. Methods: A cross-sectional observational descriptive quantitative study was conducted. Starting from univariate statistics, estimation was made of percentage and its 95% confidence intervals for correct registry indicators. Pearson's correlation coefficient (r) and the coefficient of determination (R2) were estimated to find the association between registered and possessing households. Results: Of the 3 284 households evaluated during the registration stage, 98% were given stickers and 99% received coupons. The criterion followed for the assignment of mosquito nets impregnated with long-lasting insecticide was correct in 97%, respectively. Of the households registered, 1 086 (97%) had access to at least one mosquito net impregnated with long-lasting insecticide, whereas 1 041 (92%) had slept under these mosquito nets the night before the survey. Conclusions: With the use of the new model for the distribution of mosquito nets impregnated with long-lasting insecticide, the Universal Coverage Campaign ensures the appropriate registration of households, contributing to an increase in their possession and use, and the attainment of universal coverage goals in the community.

RESUMEN Introducción: En 2017 se realizó la Campaña de Cobertura Universal, en que se aplicó el nuevo modelo de distribución de mosquiteros impregnados con insecticida de larga duración, después de las bajas coberturas encontradas en 2015. Objetivo: Caracterizar el nuevo modelo de distribución de mosquiteros con insecticida de larga duración, aplicado en la Campaña 2017, en la provincia de Tete, Mozambique. Métodos: Se realizóun estudio cuantitativo, descriptivo, observacional y transversal. A partir de estadísticas univariadas, se estimó el porcentaje y sus intervalos de confianza del 95 % para los indicadores de registro correctos. Para encontrar la asociación entre los hogares registrados y los hogares de posesión, se calculó el coeficiente de correlación de Pearson (r) y el coeficiente de determinación (R2). Resultados: De los 3 284 hogares evaluados en la etapa de registro, al 98 % se les asignaron calcomanías, al 99 % cupones, y el criterio de adjudicación de mosquiteros impregnados con insecticida de larga duración fue correcto en el 97 %, respectivamente. De los hogares registrados, 1 086 (97 %) tuvieron acceso a al menos un mosquitero impregnado con insecticida de larga duración y 1 041 (92,9 %) durmieron con estos mosquiteros la noche anterior a la encuesta. Conclusiones: La Campaña de Cobertura Universal, utilizando el nuevo modelo de distribución de mosquiteros impregnados con insecticida de larga duración, asegura un adecuado registro de los hogares, lo que ha contribuido al aumento de su posesión y uso, y al avance hacia el logro de las metas de cobertura universal en la comunidad.

RESUMO Objetivo: Discutir o uso de incentivos financeiros na escolha de medicamentos e avaliar os resultados econômicos do uso de incentivos financeiros na indução da substituição de medicamentos de referência por genéricos em empresa com programa de reembolso. Métodos: Foi realizado estudo de caso, em um grande supermercado. Os dados foram obtidos na empresa responsável pelo gerenciamento de medicamentos, a pesquisa atingiu 83.625 beneficiários entre Agosto de 2005 e Julho de 2007. Os dados foram submetidos a regressões para analisar tendências, e testes de hipóteses para avaliar diferenças nos consumos. Os resultados foram comparados com os dados gerais de consumo de medicamentos de outras cinco organizações e também com o consumo nacional de genéricos no Brasil. Resultados: A adoção de incentivos financeiros para a substituição dos medicamentos de referência por genéricos, na empresa estudada, aumentou o consumo de genéricos sem reduzir os gastos da empresa com o reembolso dos mesmos. Conclusões: Este trabalho mostrou a ocorrência de resultados não planejados (aumento do consumo de medicamentos) e as consequências positivas dos sistemas de reembolso para o acesso aos medicamentos.

ABSTRACT Objective: To discuss the use of financial incentives in choice of medication and to assess the economic results concerning the use of financial incentives to promote the use of genetic medication in lieu of reference drugs in a company with a reimbursement program. Methods: A case study was carried out in a large supermarket. The data was obtained in the company responsible for managing medication. The study reached 83,625 users between August 2005 and July 2007. The data was submitted to regressions in order to analyze trends and hypothesis tests to assess differences in medication consumption. The results were compared with general data regarding medication consumption of five other organizations and also with data about the national consumption of generic medication in Brazil. Results: The use of financial incentives to replace brand medications for generics, in the company studied, increased the consumption of generic drugs without reducing the company expenses with the reimbursement programs. Conclusions: This study show the occurrence of unplanned results (increase in the consumption of medications) and the positive consequences of the reimbursement program concerning access to medication.
