	Design and validation of a trachomatous trichiasis - only survey World Health Organization (WHO), Strategic and Technical Advisory Group for Neglected Tropical Diseases, Working Group on Monitoring and Evaluation (2017) C_WHO View PDF(565) Download (276) Add to my MEDBOX The World Health Organization (WHO) endorses the use of population-based prevalence surveys for estimating the prevalence of trachoma. In general, the prevalence of TF in children aged 1–9 years and the prevalence of TT in adults aged ≥ 15 years are measured at the same time in any district being surveyed. This was the approach of the Global Trachoma Mapping Project, which undertook baseline surveys in > 1500 districts worldwide in order to provide the data required to start interventions where needed. The survey design recommended by WHO is a two-stage cluster random sample survey, which uses probability proportional to size sampling to select 20–30 villages, and random, systematic or quasi-random sampling to select 25–30 households in each of those villages. In most surveys, everyone aged ≥ 1 year living in selected households is examined Tags: trachomatous trichiasis (TT), prevalence surveys, Source: http://apps.who.int/iris/bitstream/handl

	Chronic Care for Neglected Infectious Diseases: Leprosy/Hansen’s Disease, Lymphatic Filariasis, Trachoma, and Chagas Disease Pan American Health Organisation PAHO (2021) CC View PDF(57) Download (84) Add to my MEDBOX This manual provides a framework for morbidity management and disability prevention of patients affected by NIDs and gives specific guidance for the proper care of patients suffering from chronic conditions caused by lymphatic filariasis, leprosy, trachoma, and Chagas disease. It is intended to be used mainly by health care workers at the primary health care level, but health workers at more complex and specialized levels may also find it useful Tags: Leprosy, Lymphatic filariasis, Chagas, Trachoma, Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs), care, health-care workers, primary health care, Source: https://iris.paho.org/bitstream/handle/1
	Safety in administering medicines for neglected tropical diseases World Health Organization WHO (2021) C_WHO View PDF(72) Download (164) Add to my MEDBOX This manual summarizes key issues related to the safety of NTD medicines and their administration, with a focus on essential medicines used in mass drug administration (MDA), also called preventive chemotherapy. It can be used as a standalone reference manual, but is intended to be used in conjunction with the accompanying training modules, which provide practical instruction, and the aide-mémoires. Versions of the aide-mémoires and training modules are available respectively for both (i) programme managers and district-level health officials and (ii) community drug distributors and community health worker Tags: NTD, neglected tropical diseases, Essential Medicine, job aid, Training, practical instructions, programme managers, health professionals, chemotherapy, mass drug, Community Health Worker (CHW), Source: https://apps.who.int/iris/rest/bitstream
