A significant number of project activities are based in the Philippines (Magic Glasses Philippines).
B The project Magic Glasses Philippines investigates the impact of a video-based health education package on knowledge of soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections, hygiene behaviours and infection outcomes. It targets some 2, 500 schoolchildren aged 9-10 years (Grade 4) in the Laguna province, the Philippines; and is implemented for a duration of two years, in collaboration with the Participating Parties, with facilitation of collaborative activities through a steering committee.

Item 6: Activities
, TiMelitte 5111111":"Wr-----ctivities of the Magic- Glasses Philippines T(MGP): 11/2015 to 9/2017 The health education package contains a cartoon video, classroom discussions, drawing and essay competitions and a pamphlet on transmission and prevention of STH. The package has been shown to improve the knowledge and behaviours and lower STH infections among students in China, and thus is adapted to the local context for this project, which aims to evaluate the potential for up-scaling of the package in different geographical areas and cultural settings.
The baseline survey of the project consists of stool examination for infection status, self-report questionnaires on knowledge, attitude and behaviours regarding STH infections and measurement of height, weight and haemoglobin levels of students, and review of school records for attendance and academic performance. Then, all students will be treated with WHO recommended dose (400 mg) of Albendazole which is the part of the DOH control program and implemented by the DepEd. Students at intervention schools will receive the health education package consisting of a 12 minute video, under Health or Science subject, which will be administered by the research staff and re-enforced after 1-2 months (See Item 7. Study Timeline). The same data collection activities at baseline will be collected at the follow-up. Any student found positive for intestinal worms will be endorsed for treatment with Albendazole for ethical reasons.
NOTE: A decision will be made after the completion of the first follow-up survey (in January 2017) on whether the timeline of the study will be extended to conduct the second follow-up survey in 11/2017 which will involve the conduct of the baseline parameters, i.e. stool collection and examination, survey (KAP), height and weight, and haemoglobin testing (See Item 7. Study Timeline).

The start of this proposed timeline is based on the assumption that BHWs will conduct house-to-house campaign/information dissemination about MOP starting April 2016. Informed consent will also be obtained during this time. There is a break in the Follow up 1 stool collection and survey as it will take 6 weeks and has to be completed prior to the January 2017 mass deworming ceremonial day (the last Wednesday of the month). In addition, the 3rd and 4th weeks of December are examination week and school break, and the 1st week of January is allotted to wait for all the children to go back to school. The 6th week of Intervention 1 activities will overlap with the designated mass deworming date (NSDD), but MGP activities can still be conducted for that week, except for the mass deworming day.
