I am currently the trial coordinator for the Community Deworming against Soil-Transmitted Helminths (CoDe-STH), which is a large NHMRC-funded clinical trial in Vietnam comparing the effectiveness of community-wide mass deworming with albendazole and school-based targeted deworming with albendazole, in terms of reducing STH prevalence in school-aged children (https://kirby.unsw.edu.au/project/community-deworming-against-soil-transmitted-helminths-code-sth).
