A randomized controlled trial to evaluate the impact of combining hygiene education with deworming

ABSTRACT

The core goal of the study is to assess if adding a hygiene education package, designed to be implemented at scale, to deworming campaigns can improve the success of deworming by reducing the reinfection rate in children. Accordingly, there are two components to the intervention (i) a hygiene education package; and (ii) distribution of deworming tablets via mass drug administration of deworming medication at schools.
