Table 5. Effect of the health hygiene intervention on STH intensity (EPG^†) at follow-up (four months post-deworming) in multivariable random effects negative binomial regression models.

Outcome variable	Unadjusted	Adjusted
	IRR (95% CI)	aIRR^a 95% CI
Ascaris lumbricoides intensity (EPG^†)	0·52 (0·27–1·01)	0·42 (0·21 to 0·85)^*
Trichuris trichiura intensity (EPG^†)	1·56 (0·98–2·48)	1·14 (0·78 to 1·67)
Hookworm intensity (EPG^†)	1·57 (0·28–8·81)	0·11 (0·01 to 1·49)

Incidence rate ratios (IRR) adjusted for sex, SES status, age, running water in the home, time of year of baseline visit, length of follow-up, baseline parasitological intensity (epg), random effects at the school level, and fixed effect for the matched-pairs.

EPG: eggs per gram.
