Trans-R-Soc-Trop-Med-Hyq. 88(5): 513-7.Abstract:A participatory strategy to increase face washing was designed and testedin central Tanzania. Changing children's face-washing behaviour ispostulated to be important in preventing the transmission of eye disease,particularly blinding trachoma. The strategy used non-formal adulteducation techniques at neighbourhood level meetings to build acommunity consensus to keep children's faces clean for the prevention ofeye disease. Men, women, schoolchildren, traditional healers and villagesocial groups participated in the intervention. The strategy was evaluatedby observing changes in numbers of clean faces of a sample of pre-schoolchildren in the village. Clean faces increased from 9% to 33% over thecourse of a year. Factors which were related to sustained change inchildren's clean faces included distance to water, age of the child, andpresence of a corrugated metal roof. Owning cattle was associated withlack of sustainable change in this population.Address: none given.New members:http://www.lboro.ac.uk/departments/cv/wedc/garnet/hybnews.html (18 of 20) [1/13/2005 12:50:12 PM]
