To investigate the long-term impact of health education in intestinal helminth infection control in rural Bangladesh.
Longitudinal study to compare knowledge, awareness and practice for intestinal helminths between four communities: two receiving health education and two not receiving health education.
Parents of 1497 children aged between 2 and 8 years [781 (52.2%) received health education] were investigated by interview at baseline, endline (18 months) and follow-up (5 years).
Health education had a significant effect on the installment of tubewells and latrines, but only had a temporary effect on health knowledge.
This long-term follow-up study showed the lack of sustainability of knowledge and awareness in the long-term after health education interventions.
调查在孟加拉国农村地区开展肠道蠕虫感染控制健康教育的长期影响。
对四个社区进行纵向研究,比较接受健康教育和未接受健康教育的两组社区的肠道蠕虫相关知识、意识和行为:两组接受健康教育,两组未接受健康教育。
通过访谈,对年龄在 2 至 8 岁之间的 1497 名儿童的家长进行基线调查、终点(18 个月)和随访(5 年)调查。
健康教育对管井和厕所的安装有显著影响,但对健康知识只有暂时影响。
这项长期随访研究表明,在健康教育干预措施结束后很长一段时间内,知识和意识的可持续性不足。
