Study Status: Terminated
Recruit Status: Terminated
Study Type: Interventional
Official Title: Can Insecticide-treated School Uniforms Reduce Dengue Infections in School-aged Children in Thailand
Brief Summary: This is a randomised controlled trial that will be conducted in eastern Thailand in a group of schools with approximately 2,000 students aged 7-15 years. Pre-fabricated school uniforms will be commercially treated to ensure consistent high quality of insecticide impregnation with permethrin.
