Study location and setting
This multi-methods study was conducted in three Indian states: Goa, Sikkim, and Odisha. The states were selected using a systematic process to identify states with high potential for STH transmission interruption through cMDA. NTD stakeholders at State Ministry of Health & Family Welfare (State MOHFW) offices participated in three primary methods of data collection, including organizational readiness surveys, key informant interviews, and program mapping exercises, to assess readiness to transition from school-based MDA to cMDA for STH in India.
