Summary

The goal of this intervention study is to investigate the level of knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of students on schistosomiasis in Pemba Island. It aims to test the effectiveness of establishing a widely applicable Community Health Volunteers model in the Zanzibar region and explore the feasibility of promoting this model in other areas of Africa. This study also aims to provide valuable insights and references for global schistosomiasis prevention and control efforts.
