Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Conducting a survey to understand the current knowledge levels, attitudes, and relevant health behaviors of Pemba Island students towards schistosomiasis.
Performing qualitative research to analyze the factors influencing students' knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors related to schistosomiasis, as well as observing the facilitators and barriers to conducting health education among student groups, in order to provide a scientific basis for targeted intervention measures.
Testing the effectiveness of establishing a widely applicable community health volunteer model in the Zanzibar region and exploring the feasibility of promoting this model in other regions of Africa, thereby providing insights and references for global schistosomiasis prevention and control efforts.
Participants will select fourth and fifth grade students from two schools located in high-risk schistosomiasis prevalence areas on Pemba Island, with Kilindi Primary School as the intervention group and Shumba Viamboni or Chambani primary school as the control group from Feb 2024 to Feb 2025. Apart from the KAP survey, urine samples will be collected from students three times at least and the prevalence confirmed to compare the effectiveness of the two groups.

CHVs Intervention group
A group of students who receive schistosomiasis health education intervention led by community health volunteers.
health education
In the intervention group, we provide schistosomiasis health education to students once a month through community health volunteers for a duration of six months. After that, the community health volunteers no longer visit the school for health education until the completion of a one-year follow-up period.
Control A
A group of students who do not receive schistosomiasis health education intervention led by community health volunteers. The control arm received conventional education.
No interventions assigned to this group
