The purposes of a yaws mass campaign are to eradicate yaws and to improve the environmental sanitation and standard of living of the people so that its re-introduction will be impossible. In a mass treatment campaign the importance of latent cases and contacts in maintaining the disease must be taken into account. The treatment of this group of the population, in addition to all active cases, hastens the success of the campaign.Resurveys at regular intervals must be carried out until the prevalence of active yaws is low and there are adequate facilities to continue the consolidation phase of the campaign. All the population should be seen at each survey. Serological screening is used to guide public health activities.All campaigns and post-campaign activities should be planned and budgeted for before the activities start. Campaigns should expand as compact areas and should be co-ordinated with similar campaigns in adjacent countries. Adequate supervision of field staff, the intelligent co-operation of the people and their leaders and continuous project evaluation are essential for the eradication of yaws.
雅司病群体防治运动的目的是根除雅司病，改善环境卫生和人民生活水平，从而使其不可能再次传入。在群体治疗运动中，必须考虑到潜伏病例和接触者在疾病传播中的重要性。除了所有现症病例外，对这部分人群进行治疗可加速运动的成功。必须定期进行复查，直到现症雅司病的患病率较低，并有足够的设施继续开展运动的巩固阶段。每次复查时都应检查所有人群。血清学筛查用于指导公共卫生活动。所有运动及运动后的活动都应在活动开始前进行规划并编制预算。运动应在紧凑的区域内展开，并应与邻国的类似运动相协调。对现场工作人员进行充分监督、民众及其领导人的明智合作以及持续的项目评估对于根除雅司病至关重要。
