Cross-sectional survey demonstrates improved disease awareness and treatment adherence in children, indicating effective community health interventions.
Community-based child health care workshops have been implemented in various African villages to improve disease awareness and treatment compliance among children. A cross-sectional survey design was employed with structured questionnaires administered to parents/guardians of school-aged children in selected communities. Data collection took place over a six-month period in . Parents reported an average increase of 35% in disease recognition knowledge post-workshop, and 40% improvement in treatment adherence for common illnesses like malaria and diarrhea. The workshops significantly enhanced parents' awareness about child health issues and their ability to manage minor ailments effectively. Further research should explore long-term impacts on children's health outcomes and consider sustainability of community involvement.
