The results of the surveys were used to prepare and evaluate the social mobilization component of a pilot mass drug administration (MDA) in five villages. In the study area, the filarial parasites <jats:italic>Brugia timori<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>Wuchereria bancrofti<\/jats:italic> are highly endemic. Frequent and severe adverse reactions after MDA may occur especially in areas endemic for <jats:italic>B. timori<\/jats:italic> and therefore, a special communication strategy was designed to inform and to educate communities about LF and its control. The first KAP survey was conducted as a baseline pre\u2010MDA with diethylcarbamazine and albendazole and the second as a post\u2010intervention evaluation in order to obtain information on the impact of the communication campaign. Before the information campaign and the subsequent MDA, 54% of the study population had heard of one of the three main terms for LF, whereas after health education and MDA, 89% had heard of at least one of the three terms. Similarly, pre\u2010MDA, 21% reported having had previously taken the treatment for filariasis, while post\u2010MDA, 88% reported having taken the treatment during the pilot treatment period. The historical fears and traumatic experiences associated with past LF treatment campaigns in Indonesia were averted since both the communication campaign and the MDA were designed appropriately for and together with the community. As a result, compliance was sufficient in the first round to successfully begin the elimination process.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-3156.2006.01720.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,10,5]],"date-time":"2006-10-05T11:15:58Z","timestamp":1160046958000},"page":"1731-1740","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":32,"title":["Using
