Summary: Abstract: This is an action program done by Section III-D of batch `98 FEU-NRMF, sponsored under the Department of Community and Family Medicine, which is aimed primarily to increase the knowledge on proper hand washing and its role in the prevention of intestinal parasitism among grades II-IV students of PEDRO PELAEZ Elementary School. A pre-evaluation examination was conducted to assess the knowledge and attitudes of the students towards intestinal parasitism. This served as baseline data for the preparation of educational pamphlets, posters and materials for the conduct of lectures and actual demonstrations for the entire campaign period. During the program, items with least correct answers were given more emphasis. After 4 weeks, a post- evaluation examination were conducted. Simple rates and ratios were used in the analysis of pre and post-evaluation test results to evaluate increase in knowledge and changes in behaviour and practices towards proper hand washing. In summary, the knowledge of the respondents regarding proper hand washing practices, techniques, and its role in the prevention of intestinal parasitism increased significantly. However, whether this knowledge is sustainable necessitates further action and evaluation.
