Of those EUs, 852 (49.8%) do not have a future survey planned and will therefore potentially have to evidence through DFGC or TT-only surveys whether the elimination prevalence target for TT has been reached.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Of the large number of EUs that require TT-related activities, nearly half of them will need to evidence that every household in the EU has been visited by a case finder and all confirmed cases managed. Given that this is a relatively new way to evidence elimination, and countries face different sociopolitical challenges, cross-country learning and improved guidance is key to support global elimination.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/inthealth\/ihad075","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,4]],"date-time":"2023-12-04T18:31:57Z","timestamp":1701714717000},"page":"ii53-ii57","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["A secondary analysis to determine countries and districts eligible for documented full geographic coverage for trichiasis case finding and outreaches"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-1174-706X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Michael K","family":"Kamuyu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Neglected Tropical Diseases, Sightsavers , Nairobi , Kenya"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Michaela","family":"Kelly","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Neglected Tropical Diseases, Sightsavers, Haywards Heath , RH16\u00a03BW, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Stephanie","family":"Somerville","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Neglected Tropical Diseases, Sightsavers, Haywards Heath , RH16\u00a03BW, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,4]]},"reference":[{"volume-title":"Validation of elimination of trachoma as a public health problem","year":"2016","author":"World Health Organization","key":"2023120418314832300_bib1"},{"volume-title":"Report of the 4th Global Scientific Meeting on Trachoma.
