Abstract

Soil-transmitted helminths (STH) cause substantial disease and disability globally. Health education has proven complementary to school-based drug administration programs for STH control. We determined the generalizability of the impact of “The Magic Glasses” health education package for STH prevention in schoolchildren in Laguna province, the Philippines, having previously shown its positive impact in China.
