Pie charts of percent participants with adequate KAP for schistosomiasis — The proportion of participants with adequate knowledge of KAP on UgS. (A) Parents. (B) Children. The participants were asked in the local language via a questionnaire about knowledge of schistosomiasis (described as blood in urine), its cause, whether they know that treatment is available for it, how it is contracted/transmitted, how it can be prevented, their feelings/concerns (attitudes) towards the disease, and their water contact activities/behavior (practice). Those with one correct response were coded as Yes and those with not a single correct response as NO. The results revealed that approximately 89% and 98% of adults and children, respectively, in the study communities lack adequate KAP on UgS.
