Intervention(s)
|
Eight kindergarten's from zone 20 of the Ministry of Education of Guerrero, Acapulco city, are randomised to one of two groups using a computerised random number generator (www.random.org). At baseline, an initial measurement will be undertaken to estimate the prevalence of pediculosis capitis in each of the kindergartens. This involves a short questionnaire answered by the children's parents, the provision information about the study and provision of informed consent.
Intervention group: Following collection of the baseline measurement, students have 30 ml of coconut oil applied onto their scalp, which is repeated 10 days later.
Control group: Participants do not receive any treatment and continue as normal.
Follow up for all participants involves measuring the rate of pediculosis capitis infestation throughout direct inspection of the scalp at each kindergarten one week later of the last visit to the intervention schools (day 17)
