With increased global interaction, the risk of infection also rises in high\u2010income countries (HICs) and middle\u2010income countries (MICs). Community knowledge and awareness are crucial to influence behavioural change and thus aid in controlling the parasite. This systematic review examined the effectiveness of health education interventions in managing TSCT to inform future disease control strategies. Papers published up to June 2024 were searched through PubMed and Google search engines. Studies evaluating interventions involving health education aimed at improving knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAPs) to alter behavioural responses regarding TSCT were included. Initially, 392 studies were identified, with 21 publications ultimately included in this review. Although behavioural changes and reductions in disease prevalence were challenging to evaluate across the 21 studies, most concluded that health education, developed with community participation, enhanced KAPs, modified behaviour and reduced disease prevalence in the short term.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/puh2.70147","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,24]],"date-time":"2025-10-24T07:17:39Z","timestamp":1761290259000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Impact of Health Education Interventions for Control of\n                    <i>Taenia solium<\/i>\n                    Cysticercosis\/Taeniasis in Endemic Countries: A Systematic Review"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"4","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9543-9758","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chacha","family":"Nyangi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Medicine and Public Health Sokoine University of Agriculture  Morogoro Tanzania"},{"name":"Department of Food Science and Technology Mbeya University of Science and Technology  Mbeya Tanzania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ernatus Martin","family":"Mkupasi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Medicine and Public Health Sokoine University of Agriculture  Morogoro Tanzania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Helena Aminiel","family":"Ngowi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Medicine and Public Health Sokoine University of Agriculture  Morogoro Tanzania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christopher","family":"Mahonge","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Policy, Planning and Management Sokoine University of Agriculture  Morogoro Tanzania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andrea Sylvia","family":"Winkler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, TUM University Hospital, and Center for Global Health School of Medicine and Health Technical University of Munich (TUM), Germany"},{"name":"Department of Community Medicine and Global Health, Institute of Health and Society University of Oslo Norway"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_12_2_1","volume-title":"Assembling a Framework for Intensified Control of Taeniasis and Neurocysticercosis Caused by Taenia Solium: Report of an Informal Consultation","author":"WHO","year":"2015"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_3_1","volume-title":"Sustaining the Drive to Overcome the Global Impact of Neglected Tropical Diseases","author":"WHO","year":"2013"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_4_1","volume-title":"WHO\/FAO\/OIE Guidelines for the Surveillance, Prevention and Control of Taeniasis\/Cysticercosis","author":"Murrell K.
