Towards effective coverage of Chagas disease: a community-based approach in migrant populations
This study suggests that community-based follow-up strategies are advisable, particularly among middle-aged women with primary or secondary education. They facilitate a comprehensive continuum of care-from on-site screening to treatment adherence-which is essential for achieving the Chagas disease targets of the World Health Organization's Road Map for Neglected Tropical Diseases by 2030.
