Sociodemographic determinants of lymphatic filariasis knowledge among refugees in Cameroon

LF knowledge is alarmingly low in these refugee settings. The powerful effect of formal education and the context-dependent role of Koranic education highlight that awareness campaigns must be tailored to the specific educational and sociocultural landscape of each refugee camp. Strengthening both formal and context-relevant non-formal education systems should be a cornerstone of future LF elimination programs in humanitarian contexts.

Abstract

LF knowledge is alarmingly low in these refugee settings. The powerful effect of formal education and the context-dependent role of Koranic education highlight that awareness campaigns must be tailored to the specific educational and sociocultural landscape of each refugee camp. Strengthening both formal and context-relevant non-formal education systems should be a cornerstone of future LF elimination programs in humanitarian contexts.
