Assessment

Primary outcomes

Changes in Opisthorchis viverrini related knowledge and attitudes measured using self administered questionnaires immediately before and after each educational training session.OV related knowledge was assessed using true or false items covering transmission, prevention, the transmission cycle, animal reservoirs, common misconceptions, deworming, severe disease, and risks associated with early initiation of raw fish consumption. Attitudes and perceptions related to OV prevention were assessed using five point Likert scale items.

Interventions/Control_1

Participants received a two session school based educational intervention on Opisthorchis viverrini (OV) prevention. Each session lasted approximately 3 hours. During the first session, district education and health staff provided basic information about OV, including routes of transmission, symptoms, and preventive measures. During the second session, students participated in a group based activity to develop short skits communicating key messages about OV prevention. Before developing the skits, facilitators demonstrated a model skit and reviewed core OV prevention messages. Students then developed a scenario, assigned roles, rehearsed their performance, and presented the skits to other participants. Teachers from the participating schools and staff from district health or education offices served as facilitators.
