Kenya tests new way to fight worms: regular clinic visits instead of special drives
NCT ID NCT07507461
First seen May 01, 2026 · Last updated May 01, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether giving deworming medicine during regular healthcare visits works as well as special mass drug campaigns to prevent worm infections in Western Kenya. Over 1,200 people from four counties took part, including children and adults. Researchers compared coverage, cost, and feasibility between the two methods to see if integrating deworming into primary care is a better approach.
