Ts.Definitions usedDefinitions related to persons receiving LF drugs and persons taking LF drugs vary significantly in the peer reviewed literature and in the field [8?0]. In the reality of MDA, directly observed treatment is not always order LLY-507 implemented on the ground during MDA, and as a result, the WHO definition of drug coverage may not always reflect the true rate of those who took the treatment. Because of the heterogeneity of the definitions used, this research uses the following definitions. Coverage is defined as the percentage of targeted persons who receive MDA medications and compliance refers to the WHO definition for drug coverage, specifically, the percentage of a targeted population who ingest the medication [8, 13].Results Characteristics of survey respondents in baseline and endline surveysA total of 401 questionnaires were accepted for analysis from Agam District and 405 questionnaires from Depok City in the baseline survey (n = 806).
