| Research Abstract |
The purpose of the study is to improve and enhance health of school children, focusing on prevention and control of intestinal parasite infections which is one of the perpetual public health problems in Laos. Laos being multiethnic country, there are many gaps on prevalence of intestinal parasites, lifestyle habit, comprehensive preventative programs and obstructive factors by ethnic groups. Furthermore, the study identified the gap on effectiveness of health education by study groups culture, lifestyle and basic academic skills and concluded that preventative program must matched with these ethic's characteristics and habits. Sanitary measures are part of daily habit and require health education focusing on change on their own traditional lifestyle.
