However, since the mode of transmission of intestinal parasites is via the fecal-oral route, recurrences may occur among children with poor handwashing practices, or among those who frequently play in an environment with low level of basic sanitation. If both curative and preventive aspects are realized, morbidity from intestinal parasites will definitely decrease. An organized community was adopted for the implementation of the action program. Households of 5- to 10 -year old children in Sitio Ibayo, Brgy. Bagbag, Novaliches, Quezon City were given a pre-test to determine baseline hygienic, sanitation and deworming practices. A seminar-workshop regarding proper handwashing technique with brief discussion on intestinal parasitism, particularly its mode of transmission and the hazards of acquiring parasites, as well as food and environmental sanitation were conducted together with distribution of comics containing proper handwashing techniques. In order to evaluate the effects of the intervention program on the household practices, mothers of the target households were given a post-test which contained the same questions that were asked in the pre-test. It was found out that there was a 79.16% decrease in the prevalence of intestinal parasitism following mass deworming and an education intervention program. Much of the percentage reduction is attributed to the deworming drug, because evaluation of the effectiveness of the an educational program needs a longer implementation period.
