“…….The neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) are a group of conditions identified as affecting the poorest and most disadvantaged populations in the world.
The scale of social science research in the neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) is particularly less prominent compared to other areas of research.
This series attempts to identify whether there are increased roles for the social sciences in the activities for the control of neglected tropical diseases.
Specifically, this series aims to answer the following questions:
1. What defines the NTDs?
2. What are the current approaches to the control of NTDs?
3. What role do the social sciences currently play in this agenda?
4. Should there be greater role for the social sciences and if so what factors contribute or hinder a greater role? ….”
Does mass drug administration for the integrated treatment of neglected tropical diseases really work?
