简要总结
A health education learning package (HELP) has been improved and evaluated for its impact against intestinal parasitic infections among Orang Asli schoolchildren in West Malaysia. 13 schools were allocated into two groups (intervention and control groups) and the impact of HELP was evaluated after 3 and 6 months of baseline assessment and HELP intervention.
详细描述
This study was conducted to evaluate the impact of an improved health education learning package (HELP) against intestinal parasitic infections among Orang Asli schoolchildren in West Malaysia. The package has been tested by a pilot study in 2013 among children in 2 schools in Pahang state.
In the current study, HELP package has been improved and children from 13 primary schools in 11 districts of six states in Peninsular Malaysia were allocated into two groups (intervention and control groups) and the impact of HELP was evaluated after 3 and 6 months of baseline assessment and HELP intervention.
The evaluation involved soil-transmitted helminth infections and intestinal protozoa infections.
