Some characteristics, including cultural dislocation, are common to various trachomatous populations. Cultural changes or behavioral modifications and the utilization of certain health-related hardware are needed for the eradication of trachoma. Without appropriate cultural changes, various health-promotion efforts (e.g., birth control and malaria control programs) generally fail. With such changes, these programs are often successful; examples include health-promoting activities among Maori, Indian, and Australian populations. Community-based trachoma action consists of the provision of appropriately chosen health-related hardware and the instigation of activities that encourage its use. In the designing of these activities, the following factors are important: an understanding of the history and "real time" situation of the trachomatous group; a commitment to the group's welfare and general advancement; an appreciation of other health-related efforts that may be required before, during, or after the development of the trachoma control program; and support from and involvement of the client group at all times and at all levels.
一些特征，包括文化错位，在各种沙眼人群中都很常见。根除沙眼需要文化变革或行为改变，以及使用某些与健康相关的硬件设施。没有适当的文化变革，各种健康促进工作（如计划生育和疟疾控制项目）通常会失败。有了这些变革，这些项目往往会取得成功；例如毛利人、印度人和澳大利亚人群中的健康促进活动。基于社区的沙眼防治行动包括提供适当选择的与健康相关的硬件设施，并开展鼓励使用这些设施的活动。在设计这些活动时，以下因素很重要：了解沙眼群体的历史和“实时”情况；致力于该群体的福利和整体发展；认识到在沙眼控制项目开展之前、期间或之后可能需要的其他与健康相关的工作；以及客户群体在各个时间和各个层面的支持与参与。
