| Abstract |
Background: Liver fluke has long affected the health of Thai people, particularly those who live in the Northeast Region. It is a major cause of Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), which is one of the important causes of mortality affecting people in this region. The national helminth prevalence survey also reported that children were infected by Opisthorchis viverini (OV).
Objectives: To evaluate the effects of “The Learning Activity Package (LAP) on Improving Awareness of Liver Fluke Prevention and Control” for secondary school students.
Methodology: This quasi-experimental study primarily focused on improving awareness of liver fluke prevention and control among secondary school students in Grade 7, with three components, attitude, acceptance and giving value, as well as consciousness of responsibility at individual, family and community level. The LAP was implemented for 8 weeks in 6 schools at Don-Chan District, Kalasin Province, Thailand. Data collection used a questionnaire and data analysis used descriptive statistics, paired t-test, and Wilcoxon signed-rank test.
Results: After the LAP intervention implementation among 121students, this study showed a significant increase in all awareness components. The mean of the post-test awareness scores increased from baseline to 45.01 points (95 % CI =42.66 - 47.35 points, p < 0.001), reflecting a large effect. (Cohen’s d=3.45)
Conclusion: This LAP intervention is an effective and beneficial school-based program to impact liver fluke infection prevention and control behavior among secondary school students at individual, family and community level.
