Summary

This is a pre-post randomized community-based controlled trial aimed at estimating the effectiveness of an educational package developed using PRECEDE PROCEED to reduce the cumulative incidence of Taenia solium cysticercosis in three Provinces of Burkina Faso. The study design included an 18-months baseline study to measure baseline cumulative incidence of cysticercosis followed by an 18-month post randomization study to measure the effectiveness of the intervention. Sixty villages of three Provinces of Burkina Faso were included. The primary outcome was the change in the baseline to post randomization cumulative incidence in the intervention group compared to the control group.
