the next step would be reviewing the
pictures in the pamphlet, talking about those.
Having a discussion on how you can distinguish guinea worm from other
common diseases.
Some people in the villages where we were said oh, guinea worm causes rashes.
Well, there are many disease that cause rashes.
How do you know it's guinea worm and not one of these other diseases?
Reviewing the key points of this identification
of guinea worm, recognition for guinea worm.
That ultimately results in the village health worker notifying a program staff.
And what we did based on the diagnosis where we found
out that people had many beliefs about guinea worm.
It wasn't just when they see a worm come out somebody's leg.
But also stomach troubles, back ache, muscle pains
rashes, swelling here and there on the body.
And from the epidemiological point of view, unless the worm comes out of
your skin and the, deposits the larvae in the In the pond it's
not going to be transmitted.
So what we tried to do is go through
all of these issues through the brainstorming and say.
When you actually come regularly to report cases, tell us
especially the ones that you saw coming out of somebody's skin.
And then, with each session of course, there would
be questions and answers at the end of the session.
But, spelling out these details is very important for you, to make sure that
you cover everything.
And one of the things you'll notice, of course too, is that some of this,
this narrative corresponds with the kind of methods
that you've chosen for doing the training session.
So if you've mention that brainstorming is important than here
it is describing how you're going to go about the brainstorming.
If you talk about discussion here we are describing how and what we are discussing.
So,this narrative is what lets
you explain in detail what it is you want to do or you want another trainer to do.
So let's assume that we've done the three, four, five sessions.
Now we want to wrap up.
We definitely need a clear wrap-up time spelled out.
we want to give participants a chance to recall and
repeat some of the key things they've learned during the training.
we want to
use this as a reminder for people of what's coming next.
In this particular case we were setting up a weekly reporting system at the market.
So reminding people that the very next market on, let's say,
the following Thursday, we expect to see everybody will be around.
And you can tell us what you've seen with guinea worm for that week.
obviously thank people for attending if it's a workshop that's being held for
the very first time, you may want to give out certificates of attendance.
But you definitely want to make sure that you keep a record of everybody who came.
finally, you know, you may want to
schedule your post-test during this, this period.
