Intestinal Helminthiasis Clinical Trial
Official title:
The Impact of Health Education in Controlling Soil-transmitted Helminthiasis Among Orang Asli Schoolchildren
There is a sever lack in application of health education intervention for Soil Transmitted Disease (STH) in rural communities and in school children among Orang Asli in Pahang in Malaysia, and also there is a lack of information on the effect of different health education aspects on STH control in Malaysia, so the investigators think that introducing such new national educational package and for the first time in Malaysian's school will help children to make some behavior changes specially for the school children aiming to use these children as an educator agents to their families and preschool brothers and sisters, to build a base for this issue and to reduce STH intensity in these rural areas, which in turn will determine the best approach to health education intervention to be applied to other rural areas in Malaysia.
The World Health Organization established that infections with STH among school¬children
cause malnutrition, intellectual retardation and cognitive and educational deficits.
Although school-based intervention specifically the deworming antihelminths drugs programme
were introduced into school but still Orang Asli villages in Malaysia having a high
intensity and higher prevalence rate for STH, therefore the objective of this article was to
review other intervention means mainly the health education intervention into school
children and rural community, where most of these studies concluded that health education
intervention was successful in increasing knowledge and changing some of practices among
people and children which in turn decreases the prevalence and intensity of the STH. Also we
think applying such intervention in Malaysia would be a benefit to change knowledge and
attitude towards STH, and it will be the first research study to be applied in this field.
