COMMUNITY PERCEPTIONS OF MASS DRUG ADMINISTRATION FOR SOIL-TRANSMITTED HELMINTHIASIS AND SCHISTOSOMIASIS IN SELECTED SCHOOLS IN THE PHILIPPINES

Community perceptions of mass drug administration for soil-transmitted helminthiasis and schistosomiasis in selected schools in the Philippines

Abstract Background Soil-transmitted helminthiasis (STH) and schistosomiasis are parasitic infections prevalent in tropical and subtropical countries, such as the Philippines.The prevalence of these infections remain high in certain Philippine provinces, despite established mass drug administration (MDA) programs in endemic communities.This study a
