Deworming women of reproductive age during adolescence and pregnancy: what is the impact on morbidity from soil-transmitted helminths infection?

Table 1 Overview of simulated treatment scenarios

Baseline prevalence of any hookworm infection	SB treatment only	SB treatment and treatment of WRA
Moderate	Annual SB treatment Semi-annual SB treatment	Annual SB treatment Semi-annual SB treatment
High	Semi-annual SB treatment	Semi-annual SB treatment

SB, School-based; WRA, women of reproductive age
For each baseline prevalence and treatment frequency we compare the currently implemented treatment strategy (SB treatment only) with the new recommended treatment strategy (SB treatment + treatment of WRA). All analyses were done separately with the forces of infection (FoIs) extracted from the Erasmus Medical Centre (EMC) and Imperial College London (ICL) models
