The efficacy of sampling strategies for estimating scabies prevalence

2021-11-14

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Estimating scabies prevalence in communities is crucial for identifying the communities with high scabies prevalence and guiding interventions. There is no standardisation of sampling strategies to estimate scabies prevalence in communities, and a wide range of sampling sizes and methods have been used. The World Health Organization recommends household sampling or, as an alternative, school sa...
