ABSTRACT
School-based deworming programs are one of the most cost-effective public health strategies to reach children with anthelminthics and health education. However, despite their low cost and high health impact, they are not implemented on a large scale. The present survey investigated a school-based deworming program in Ha Giang Province, Vietnam, to assess the community perception and support towards these programs. Information from 81 households, 88 primary school students, 25 teachers and 9 people in charge of commune health stations was collected by structured questionnaires. The survey displayed complete satisfaction and a high level of support within all 4 questioned groups. In addition 96.1% of all parents noticed an improvement in their children's health. The great appreciation of the deworming program by the community is an additional argument to convince decision makers to implement and scale up these programs. Even teachers that did not receive any specific training were able to distribute the drug successfully following the page of written instructions accompanying the drug.
