Abstract

The article discusses the importance of behavioural change intervention for a sustained global elimination of trachoma. Topics discussed include challenges to implementing interlinked intervention strategies to target facial cleanliness and environmental improvement which contribute to the prevalence of trachoma. Also mentioned is the need to create a prevention roadmap that draws on behavioural change theories that can be specifically applied to an effective trachoma prevention program.
